Sorry if my question looks late or stupid, but what is the benefit of those xed files, how
are they added to the lib folder currently ? That might explains why these meta
information are not integrated to the jar file, what I would have expected more than B.
Thanks,

I don't have a problem with keeping the XED files in WEB-INF/lib if the
spec doesn't forbid it, especially if it simplifies the implementation.

Hi devs,
In XWiki 9.0RC1 we’re putting XED files in WEB-INF/lib next to the JAR to
which they correspond.
I have 2 issues with this:
* We’re not really supposed to use WEB-INF/lib for that. WEB-INF/lib is
meant for JAR files that are to be made available to the classloader. It’s
even possible that some servlet container would emit warnings about this.
* This is a WTF for admins when they discover this. The WAR has a spec and
it’s standardised. Thus the WTF when you see this since you’re not used to
seeing this anywhere else.
I’m thus proposing to move the XED files to a META-INF/xwiki/ directory
inside the WAR instead since META-INF is meant to contain metadata
information and is thus meant exactly for this.
WDTY?
Thanks
