Chuck,
Thank you for the detailed description. I appreciate the effort to be
as inclusive as possible to as many different project scenarios. The
concept of a "web source" source folder is a good one, and it is
conceptually similar to jdt so this it is also good for usability.
There is one point that was not very clear to me. Can you also comment
on how flexible projects propose to manage "web libraries" (i.e jars in
web-inf/lib ). I would like to hear your comments on two issues.
First, there is a good level of interest in being able to refer to
out-of-workspace repositories for libraries. For example, struts, and
spring libraries can be stored in a different folder and can be shared
by many web applications. More specifically, I am looking for a
maven-like library/classpath resolution. I think maven has it right
when it comes to managing library dependencies.
Second, I would like to be able to manage web-inf/lib as a library
entry to be used in project build-paths. For example, if I have a web
module, the libraries that the web module contributes to the project
build-path (i.e web-inf/lib and web-inf/classes) should be an entity
that is usable by the developer in other project and editable by the
developer (relates to my first question). The scenario where this is
useful is when a module is split into a set of projects.
everyone,
I have added some additional
details,
and two additional scenarios to demonstrate the differences between our
current support , and the proposals in our WTP 1.5 timeframe.
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/j2ee/proposals/WTPFlexibleProjectProposals.html
It must be understood that our
current
support will remain through WTP 1.0, and existing metadata/structure
will
be migated to any new format/proposal in future releases.
Please respond with your feedback by
September 27, we will be making some decisions on this topic soon.
Thanks - Chuck
