Zipped sample projects do not need to be on classpath. They can be isolated and located with InstalledFileLocator. This can reduce the size of module JAR and thus virtual size of process. Currently I see following zips in blueprints module: J2EEClientforDocOrientedService.zip SchemaWebService.zip StringWebService.zip client-validators.zip command-submissions.zip serverside-validators.zip swing-client.zip tabbed-view.zip And also this one in appserver plugin: pointbasescripts.zip
There're pros and cons in embedding/separating zip files. Yes, the size is one point, but including them gives us much better managament for the version, which is also suggested by the current "non-scrambled file" policy. Anyway, we need to integrate another version of solutions catalog for JavaEE5, we will consider the best way to resolve this issue.
I do not understant to your comment about versioning. Can you be more specific about possible cons here so that we can find some solution?
Hi Yuta or Nitya, any update on this issue? There is now the Java EE 5 catalog, is there any difference in how it's now done?
After the long discussion in the group, we decided to include zip files in the module mainly because of considering the case of the update center. How can we manage the consistency between the main module and associated zip files when there are multiple versions of the modules? Is there any other modules which do this?
Ok, marking as WONTFIX. BTW, issue 80836 is somewhat related - we should not have duplicated or components in the code.
reopen - We are again investigating the best way to do this. not in 5.5, most likely in the next release.
BluePrints module has been moved to the Update Center and this is the last iteration of the module. Don't think it is worth spending time on investigation and fixes at this point. Closing. Reopen if you think this needs to be absolutely resolved.
