    On the wish list could I would like two things:

    1- An option to jar framework at the end of the build like the jar in
    the "/Library/WebObjects/lib"

    2- An option to copy all the dependencies jar in the
    "myApplication.woa/Content/Extensions/" This is very usefull when you
    do a product deployment and you do not want to be dependent on
    whatever is installed on the target machine. Any jar in that
    directory is loaded before the system jar and therefore you can be
    completely independent.

    What do you think?

    Cheers

    Pierre
