JBoss Developer Studio Version 7.0.1.GA Server Launch Configuration Classpath Problem

howardu Nov 13, 2013 1:49 PM

I am trying to add an external folder to the classpath of a JBoss EAP 6.1 server in JBoss Developer Studio. When I click the "Open Launch Configuration" popup and select the Classpath tab, I am able to add the external folder to the "User Entries" tree using the "Advanced..." button and then selecting "Add External Folder". However, when I save and re-open the Launch Configuration, the classpath reverts back to the default settings. Note that the same problem exists for all other User Entries like adding Projects, etc.

I've seen this bug in an earlier version of JBoss Developer Studio so it's probably been fixed before but somehow got missed in this latest release. Also note that JBoss Developer Studio version 6.0.1.GA does not have this problem, however, Version 7.0.1.GA does.

It sounds like regression, I've made clone from original issue to track this problem (see related issues for this discussion).

It does look like a regression but could you explain what usecase you got to require you to add stuff to the classpath of EAP6 launch ?

In older JBoss versions this was useful, but with the module redesign in AS7/EAP6 I fail to see why you need/want it.

CAn you give an example ?

We have a report engine which reads it's report configuration and report definition files from the file system at runtime. These files vary depending on the application that is using them.

Let me know if you can suggest a workaround that would allow us to access these files using the classloader.

don't use the classloader and instead pass in system property to point to file location ?
