Description Nieraj Singh CLA 2016-04-15 13:12:55 EDT 
Currently the CFT standalone plugin has one general contribution to support Java Standalone applications via extension point:

org.eclipse.cft.server.core.application

and it is set to "Medium" priority. It should be set to low to allow external contributions outside of Eclipse, like for example Spring IDE, to support their own archiving mechanisms for Spring Boot.

In addition, the extension point:

org.eclipse.cft.server.standalone.core.archiverDelegate

needs to support priorities.
Comment 1 Nieraj Singh CLA 2016-05-10 21:33:52 EDT 
Deferring this to post CFT 1.0 as right now the only user would be Spring Tool Suite which can adopt a newer CFT that is not part of Neon release, and that has the framework changes in the future. It's not necessary for 1.0
