Classpaths - a neverending source of pain.
The Java classpath mechanism is probably the number one source of
wasted time. Just look in any java related mailing list and you'll
find piles of messages related to hosed classpaths. Why isn't there a
JSR to replace the classpath mechanism?
Today Bill de hÓra wrote
about fixing the classpath mechanism by allowing it to read from an
XML file. The problem with this solution is that people keep their
jars all over the place, so you've just moved the problem around.
Even then, you have the problem of getting the various version
dependencies right.
One of the comments references Uberjar. I can
see the appeal of this approach, because you ought to be guaranteed
that you get all the right versions. I'd prefer to see something that
didn't copy jars all over creation, even if disks are cheap now.
