Description

In our use case for geronimo plugin we need to be able to deploy WAR project dependencies outside of WAR. The best place seems to SharedLib deployer.

Dependencies to deploy include:

• Eclipse WAR project references to other Eclipse projects
• external JAR files, attached to the project and/ot it's dependencies
• external dependencies supplied by Maven plugin from project's POM file. This is almost identical to the previous one.

All dependencies need to be deployed "in place" for efficiency reasons.

Binary dependencies do not change often and can reside in one classloader. Eclipse projects, on the other hand, change a lot and could be subjected to hot redeployment, so they probably should reside in their own set of classloaders.

Please consider for implementation.
