Description aubergine 2003-02-27 14:54:24 UTC

Suggest adding a comment somewhere that during the 
development of modules where jars are referenced in the 
<modules>/ext directory, then during testing of module (ie 
compile/execute module jar) an 'ext' directory needs to be 
in the development directory where the module resides. The 
module under test then correctly finds the referenced jars.

... everyone knows this, it just took me a while to work 
it out!!

This is already mentioned in the "Module Classpaths" section of the
Open APIs documentation. Where else would you like to see it? (I.e.
where did you look and not find it?)

Probably does not make sense under current scenarios.
