Phoenix and the manifest file

[Stephen McConnell <mc...@osm.net>]

Can anyone provide an update on the current status of the manifest file
concerning Phoenix applications/blocks.  I've notified that several new 
blocks we have put in place are not including the manifest entry and 
everything works fine.  Is this a temporary thing or something I can 
depend on (i.e. can I depend on the non-dependency of the manifest to 
declare an Avalon block?).

Cheers, Steve.

The manifest has not been required for ages now. Eventually the code will 
recomend its use (basically give stern warnings if nor present). But this is 
not going to be in place before the management console gets done which is 
taking forever ;)

If you don't want to package your classes for reuse you can just directly add 
them into "SAR-INF/classes" in your .sar and they will be picked up. That 
should generally be easier.
