Explicit listing of Boot Classpath
Came across this while addressing: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6698
I was under the impression that anything in $JBOSS_HOME/lib should be on the boot CP. As such the ServerLoader in jboss-bootstrap constructs the CP by iterating through the contents of "lib" and adding each JAR.
ServerLoader in AS/main instead has an explicit default boot library list:
/**
* The default list of boot libraries. Does not include
* the JAXP or JMX impl, users of this class should add the
* proper libraries.
* TODO: use vfs to list the root directory
*/
public static final String[] DEFAULT_BOOT_LIBRARY_LIST = {
// Logging
"log4j-boot.jar",
"jboss-logging-spi.jar",
"jboss-logging-log4j.jar",
"jboss-logging-jdk.jar",
"jboss-logmanager.jar",
"jboss-logbridge.jar",
// Common jars
"jboss-common-core.jar",
"jboss-xml-binding.jar",
"jaxb-api.jar",
// Bootstrap
"jboss-bootstrap.jar",
// Microcontainer
"javassist.jar",
"jboss-reflect.jar",
"jboss-mdr.jar",
"jboss-dependency.jar",
"jboss-kernel.jar",
"jboss-metatype.jar",
"jboss-managed.jar",
// Fixme ClassLoading
"jboss-vfs.jar",
"jboss-classloading-spi.jar",
"jboss-classloader.jar",
"jboss-classloading.jar",
"jboss-classloading-vfs.jar",
// Fixme aop
"jboss-aop.jar",
"jboss-aop-mc-int.jar",
"trove.jar",
};Using the jboss-bootstrap approach leads to:

Probably the real issue is not a CNFE a this point, but the loading of some extra JAR is triggering some scanning/deployment prematurely.
What's the correct approach - to stick with this explicit list, or put only stuff in $JBOSS_HOME/lib which can be used at boot?
