build path (compile classpath) vs. runtime classpath [message #127613] Mon, 15 December 2003 17:20

Our development team would like the capability with our projects in Eclipse
to more clearly distinguish between compile-time (build path) library
dependencies, and those required at run-time (defined within a run
configuration.)

Currently, we lump both compile-time and run-time dependencies into the
project build path for convenience, which ensures the project will compile
AND run from Eclipse with minimal setup. This saves our developers from
having to add-in the necessary run-time dependencies in their own local run
configurations. However, this also mixes compile time stuff with runtime
stuff, which results in a lot of extra classpath variables in the build path
which are not needed.

The workaround we implemented above could be addressed by allowing run
configurations to be saved on a project-by-project basis to a central
repository, similiar to how the build-path information is now. This way we
could keep the distinction between compile time and run-time dependencies
clear. This would also free the users from having to perform additional
local setup of runtime dependencies in order to launch the application from
Eclipse.

Thanks,
