Description gmatthews 2002-12-10 03:25:36 UTC
JBoss requires (?) that ejb modules be named with .jar as 
the directory extension.

NetBeans seems to confuse the *directory* with being a 
*file*.

The NetBeans behaviour is that a jar icon is displayed 
that cannot be expanded.

I would have expected that NetBeans would detect that this 
is a directory, not a file, and simply display the ejb 
module like it does a normal directory.

Also, JBoss web modules can be created as a directory with 
a .war extension, and NetBeans displays these ok, i.e. as 
an expandable directory, not a jar icon.

That is, it works ok for .war directories, just not .jar 
directories.

Greg.
