[jira] Commented: (MARCHETYPES-35) Cleaner handling of javaee-endorsed-api dependency

["Jesse Glick (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Jesse Glick commented on MARCHETYPES-35:
----------------------------------------

> When netbeans creates new projects from archetypes, it only downloads dependencies which will not have any effect on the endorsed classpath

Right, but after the project is built the endorsed CP will be updated immediately (in NB 6.10).

> The current archetypes for Java EE 6 WAR or EJB projects use the technique of prepending to the bootclasspath in order to use newer EE APIs in place of older SE APIs. There are two problems with this hack:
> 1. It relies on {{sun.boot.class.path}} and so must be activated only in a profile for Sun JDKs.
> 2. The artifacts listed as dependencies (currently just one) must be written twice (in order to force a download), risking inconsistency.
> I have a patch that uses {{-endorseddirs}} in conjunction with {{maven-dependency-plugin}}, which seems to be the preferred idiom judging by internet search hits I have found for people struggling with endorsed libraries in Maven, although MNG-4752 would be the preferred long-term solution. Please consider applying for the 1.2 versions of the archetypes.
