Hi Thomas,

The getLocation() method was removed
from IJ2EEModule since none of the J2EE modules in WTP have a single 'location'.
Now that the .deployables directory is gone, from a server's view the modules
really consist of a set of directories, e.g. the web content and the compiled
Java output in different locations. IJ2EEModule is really the interface
for a flexible J2EE project, and it's the mechanism that allows the servers
in WTP to deploy this type of module. Given that the flexible project will
never have a single output location (i.e. it could never be using in WTP
and would always return null), I'm not in favor of leaving this method
on the interface. The long term goal is actually to get rid of these interfaces
completely and allow servers to adapt directly to the flexible project
model.

Note that if you want to create a new
type of J2EE project in a downstream product, you can either extend IJ2EEModule
or allow your modules to be adapted to a different interface, thus providing
additional support or methods above what is provided in the standard flexible
projects.

Regarding 2/, what if the module
isn’t a flex project. 
 
I think the IModule and IJ2EEModule
provide an abstraction so that user can plug their own implementation.
Most code that deals with IModule doesn’t necessary care about the actual
type of IModule. I think it is a good idea to have getLocation() method
back.

Hey Sachin, 

1. The ComponentHandle class has been deleted in M9.  It is no longer
necessary since there is only one component per project.

2.  You want to call J2EEFlexProjDeployable.getURI(IModule)

3.  The project facet support is sort of a next step in evolution
of project natures.  See the following link:

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/proposals/Features%20Framework%20Specification.htm

Substitute anytime you see the word "feature" and replace with
"Facet". 

Hope that helps,

I have just moved to last fridays integration build, and due to the 
.deployable design changes I've run into the following errors.  Could
someone guide me on how I need to react?

(1) Can no longer get component handle from J2EEFlexProjDeployable, even
though constructor takes in IVirtualComponent.
(2) Can't get location of IModule.  Before I loaded the IJ2EEModule
adapter and called getLocation().
(3) ServerCore.getProjectProperties is deprecated.  JavaDoc refers
to 
Project facet support.  What is project facet support?

Thanks in advance.

Sachin.
