There should be an API for manipulation with ClassPath roots and resources.
What exactly do you expect the API to do ? Please be more verbose ;-)
The API, do not need to be Java API, it can be just a JNDI name of context, where the Roots can be found. The RMI module requires to obtain all "class path elements" to let user select the Remote interface he wants to implement. So for me it is enough to obtain a list of DataFolders for class path elements and mounted resources.
OK; more questions: now we have separated paths for - resources == things out of the project, which are used: jars, other project outputs, ... - sources == things which are compiled by the particular project/build target - target platform == delivers basic runtime classes, bootstrap classes. Do you need these components somehow merged together ? (If yes -- more work on our side, new API is needed. If no - you will have to watch all the relevant property changes and adapt your data)
The first point is easier for me, but I will be perfectly happy with the second too.
Done
