[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-230) Classpath entries to be marked exported

Max Bowsher commented on MECLIPSE-230:
--------------------------------------

I do not know about J2ME, but for J2SE development, exporting seems to be unnecessary, and potentially even harmful:

If you have a group of interdependent projects, configured with the maven-eclipse-plugin, Maven will already have resolved the complete set of required dependencies and added them to each project's classpath - no exports needed. The potential for harm is: Maven may have resolved different versions of various dependencies in each project. Exports will thus result in multiple versions of the same jar being present on the classpath.

> Generated .classpath entries of kind "var" need to be marked exported by default so that referenced projects have visibility to them.  Or provide an option to specifiy that that entries should be exported.
> Example: <classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/mx4j/mx4j/3.0.1/mx4j-3.0.1.jar"/>
> should me made...
> <classpathentry exported="true" kind="var" path="M2_REPO/mx4j/mx4j/3.0.1/mx4j-3.0.1.jar"/>
