Of course I will do my XmlConfigServiceEx (it looks easy with Click's DeployUtils class) if Click dev team official answer for this Improvement will be No ;-)

But I think: It is cool thing for Click-core.

> I have a large web application  composed from several independent modules packaged as separate .jar files in WEB-INF/lib.
> Now Click force me to copy all my .htm files (Page Templates) to 'main' module's webRoot folder (parent folder of WEB-INF), because Click look for templates only in webRoot folder and its subfolders (see XmlConfigService.getTemplateFiles), and then I have big htm midden in webRoot.
> I can't make reusable just-drop-in jar-module for somebody else. 
> I have to make separate zip with htm templates with readme.txt with instructions where to copy them.
> Please! Add option to look Page templates in classpath too.
> See - http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/resources.html#resources-app-ctx-wildcards-in-resource-paths -
>  how I use Spring for building these separate jar with separate spring's xmls into one application.
> See also excellent article about this modular concept:
> http://blogs.reucon.com/srt/2007/07/06/modular_spring_configuration.html 
> I.e. Click could  look in (for example) META-INF/ClickPageTemplates for Page mappings.
> Then both Velocity and Freemarker can load templates from classpath.
> PS: It looks like hand-made-OSGi.
> PPS: See also
