[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: JBoss Third Party Build

[<rl...@jb...>]

While working on building I ran across an inconsistency with the old system.   In the file modules.ent, from the buildmagic system, the following is defined:

  <!-- AOP -->
  |   <property name="jboss.aop.root" value="${project.root}/thirdparty/jboss-aop"/>
  |   <property name="jboss.aop.lib" value="${jboss.aop.root}/lib"/>
  |   <path id="jboss.aop.classpath">
  |     <pathelement path="${jboss.aop.lib}/jboss-aop.jar"/>
  |   </path>


This file defines only module properties except for the above.  I think this definition should be moved to the libraries.ent file for the following reasons:

1)  Consistency
2)  If the property exists in the libraries.ent file we can give it the proper value (with the version number in the path) when we generate a new one.  If it remains in the modules.ent the property is set and immutable.  The build.xml would have to be modified to reference the correct path.  (bad) 

Are there any reasons why we couldn't or shouldn't do this?
