I'd like to add the ability to use an excalibur DataSourceComponent as the ConnectionProvider for the QuartzJobScheduler's JobStore. However the solution I had in mind results in an additional dependency on the cocoon databases block. Not because of a compilation dependency on the source code of that block but on a jar in its lib directory. Am I correct in assuming that the policy on this is that I move the excalibur-datasource jar to lib/optional?
Just an idea; can we move ALL libraries to lib/optional, and copy them into the WEB-INF/lib on as-needed basis, i.e. if block included which needs a library, only then librariy is copied over? This should be possible using the info from gump.xml...
This way we could eliminate several pseudo dependencies like this.
