Version 6

    Distribution Changes

    AS7AS6Comments



    ./modules

    ./common/lib

    AS6 common/lib directory contained system and user jar files shared among different configurations. There is no shared dir in AS7 in which to simply drop in jars files that will be globally accessible by all deployments. The top level ./modules directory can be used instead to explicitly define modules that are referenced by deployments. See related discussion here.
