Damon RandMemberHi,
I am running MyEclipse 4.1.0 GA. When I enable “Jar dependent Java project output and place in lib directory” my source code is deployed fine but it ends up without a .jar extension.It turns out it is because my projects are named “org.company.mymodule”. When I deploy modules without dots in the project name all is fine.
Regards,
Damon.
Riyad KallaMemberDamon,
This is actually a “feature”. We added it because JBoss supports a large amount of custom package extensions (sar, rar, etc.) and in order to support them all in deployed form, we actually honor people’s project names to accomplish this. We will get rid of this secret/confusing behavior hopefully soon and make things more explicit, sorry for the confusion.
Damon RandMemberOh ok, thanks for the info. It is a shame the eclipse doesn’t offer a way to specify the project name. It seem that it must be the same as the project folder name. Is there any workaround apart from renaming the project folder to org.company.jar?
Riyad KallaMemberUnfortunately not at this time. I will add your comments to our issue to correct this to hopefully fast-track this.
dariush@coins.netMemberAny update on where this sits in the list of priorities ? and when it may bubble to the top of the list ?
Thanks
Dariush
Riyad KallaMemberDariush,
I see in the issue tracker we have targetted getting rid of this “feature” and adding in a more explicit feature for 5.0, but I’m not sure if it will make the last minute cut. If it doesn’t, I’ll push it soon after 5.0.
dariush@coins.netMemberThanks for the super-fast update 🙂
Riyad KallaMemberNo problem, every time someone replies to a thread the forum sends an email to a device that shocks me. So even if I’m sleeping or eating, I know someone posted.
=)
dariush@coins.netMembershouldn’t that be more like aaaargh… =8-)
PS Apologies to future readers of this thread for the off-topic post 🙂
Jonathan FeinbergMemberSo, in the meantime, can anyone suggest a workaround?
Riyad KallaMemberMrFeinberg,
The only workaround now is to remove the dots from your project name, which in many people’s cases is not a workaround at all. I’m sorry for the less than stellar solution.
Jonathan FeinbergMemberIt’s not a workable solution, but at least it’s amusing. 🙂
