    That's called a work-a-round ;-) And of course I'm quite capable of
    doing it... but the problem is that upon deployment of new apps
    they'll have things in the classpath (from /Library/WebObjects/
    Extensions) not anticipated won't they...

    I'm simply putting forward a vote (for want of a better word) for a
    'tick this box to enable/disable' including items in /Library/
    WebObjects/Extensions in the classpath during development as I'd like
    to simulate the real deployment environment that I'm working with
    (not to mention other people too).

    Is that too much to ask? :-)

    Here's my view... the tool shouldn't dictate to me what features of
    the runtime I can and cannot have access to. Sure provide a sensible
    default - but don't hide from me options that are really available
    and which sometimes can be needed.
