Hi,

I'm recommending that we place third party jars in a framework. The for projects that need them then simply add the framework to the class path.

I'm recommending that as a better solution to putting the third party jars in /Library/WebObjects/Extensions. I remember that as a best practice although I'm not 100% clear on the benefits. I listed the following. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong or missing something:

------------
The problem with jars in /Library/WebObjects/Extensions is that they are loaded whether you want / need them or not. They may cause conflicts if you open a project that already has that jar in it or one of its frameworks. You are not managing those dependencies from eclipse as you should. You may deploy an app that works well in your development environment and then find out at deployment time that it needs a jar that you had in your /Library/WebObjects/Extensions.


You don't have these problems if you put the jars in a framework and then add the framework to the class path of the project that needs the classes in the jars.
-----------


Is this accurate? Am I missing something?  :-)

Thanks,
Ricardo
