So I figured.
However, if you take away the IDE wizards and look just at the xml specs
the configuration
.xml can specify an arbitrary path to the module jar. And if that is
"allowed" then
the system as a whole should work correctly.
This is somewhat of a general philosophical principle.
We design a certain system (e.g. the module system) with certain
degrees of freedom which span a certain "space".
Then, on top of that we have the IDE and it's mayriad of wizards which
typically
work within a more constrained sub-space.
This slightly out-of-date cluster I have is valid in module-space but not in
module-wizard-space.
How much am I allowed to ... complain?
