[jira] [Commented] (VFS-761) Dynamically Load File Systems From Classpath

["Bernd Eckenfels (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-761?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17041324#comment-17041324 ] 

Bernd Eckenfels commented on VFS-761:
-------------------------------------

We do that for new provides if they have specific dependencies, but I don't think it's worth the effort for the existing providers. You normally don't interact with the provided directly, and if you use a custom FileSystemManager you can decide for yourself which schemes are loaded. It is also no problem to not provide dependencies for the providers you don't need (you could even skip the packages when you want to minimize the footprint, but those few bytes saved are certainly not worth the maintenance overhead.

If anybody wants to do that I strongly recommend to discuss it on commons-dev first. I veto all changes which just duplicates the test suite (as it currently is not good for that modularisation).

> I would like to see each File System separated into its own project.
> To setup my project, I would like to import a single VFS Binder project which will then load all File Systems that are included on the class path.  Thereby, I can include only the File Systems I want by including them in the Maven POM as dependencies and not have to include the code for every single File System.
