Packaging .class files in jar

[Marcel Overdijk]

Hi,

I'm wondering what the gae:deploy task is exactly sending to Google
servers in relation to project Java files.
Main question is if the project .class files are bundled in a .jar or
not, and if this is configurable.

I read some forum posts mentioning that if you have to many .class
files the startup performance of the instances might be affected.


Cheers,
Marcel

Note that I'm using

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>
</configuration>
</plugin>

which seems to work. A jar is created in the target directory instead
of .class files.
But I don't know if this is actually also send to GAE servers...

Hi,

Optimising startup performance is always an interesting topic for GAE.
Have you managed to measure the difference?

No I was not able to measure the performance as the application is a
new app.

Please see also http://groups.google.com/group/maven-gae-plugin/browse_thread/thread/7c9086d913e901ca
Setting <archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses> had negative side
effects when using JRebel.

Have you tried creating/updating your jrebel.xml to pick up the classes from the jar?
