Have you contacted ironjacamar maintainer?
I am contacting with him.
I assume ironjacamar produces
only some of the jars required by JBoss AS7, because building additional
jars would need more dependencies. In order to simplify packaging: these
were skipped.
Yes, I am aware of that. I am building the missing dependencies now,
there are only 3 dependencies left needed for ironjacamar standalone
environment.
I don't know the details, but I believe going for a subpackage approach
would be better. Getting in touch with ironjacamar maintainers is needed
in any case.
Or maybe I misunderstood and you say ironjacamar-standalone is meant to
be used without requiring several jboss packages? Even in that case a
subpackages could be done in a way to have simple dependencies for one
subpackage and main package just having subpackage in Requires.
ironjacamar-standalone uses some *shared* libraries as JBoss AS 7 and
some libraries used only by ironjacamar-standalone itself, like: papaki,
fungal.
Thank you for the advices !
