Description Michael Moser CLA 2007-11-02 08:51:33 EDT 
Certain COSMOS projects contain library/jar-file references that are local to some developer's private environment. These should be removed and replaced by some classpath variables instead (or include the library and check it in).

E.g. project org.eclipse.cosmos.dr.drs.service.handler has a classpath reference to "D:/development/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/webapps/COSMOSUI/WEB-INF/lib/muse-complete-2.2.0.jar".
On my system I couldn't reproduce that path even if I wanted, since I have no D-drive...

I suggest to define an eclipse classpath variable "MUSE" or "MUSE_COMPLETE" or such and have the user point that to the location where he/she installed or downloaded muse.

Along similar lines: project "org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.spec" has a dependency on project "org.eclipse.cosmos-tests" because" because of the same library (apparently to be found in "data-collection/org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.tests/lib". I 'ld say that "non-test" projects should never have a reference into a "tests"-project.

Hubert, is this critical for i9 or can it be deferred to i10?

The project setup of projects has changed since the bug is opened, and the problems have been fixed.
