[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Eclipse IDE (dev)] - Re: Standardization on runtime dependencies in JBossIDE

[<koe...@jb...>]

Max,

There is another category of 'runtime' libs IMO.  Namely the libs that a user needs to *develop* his application that later will be run against a 'runtime'. 

e.g. A user wants to develop a pure servlet application. The library he needs in his project is only the servlet-api.jar. If he wants to run his application, he needs all the Tomcat jars.

What we were talking about during this meeting is that it would be good to minimize the amount of jars included (either by a classpath container or by copying them locally) in the project. It would be good to only have a 'lightweight interface' jar that includes the api classes and not the implementation details of the used technology. 

As for the Facet stuff, is there any easy example or pointer you can provide that can shed some light on this solution?

Regards,
Koen
