Implication of exportJars

[Maatary Okouya]

I,

just started using an sbt Plugin for Packaging JavaFx/ScalaFx application: sbt-javafx. This under java 7. 

While the plugin seem to work pretty well, it is not able to properly package multi-module project. A workaround they have found is to use "exportsJars := true" in all the modules on which the javaFX  modules depends on. 

I also have intelliJ idea that can produce JavaFX application for me. although that would break the automated build. Even if i could leave with it, i think i would appreciate  to have the executable automated. 

Nevertheless, i need to understand the broad implication of that parameter on my sbt build. I don't want to find myself down the like, trying to fix some hack everywhere. 

So if someone, as a fairly good understanding of it, i would appreciate that you share it. 

Here is the help definition: "Determines whether the exported classpath for this project contains classes (false) or a packaged jar (true)."

It sounds like by default i is false why ?
