Split Classpath Prevents Weld from Resolving Classes

Description of the issue: As Jib handles /classes and /resources separately Weld is unable to reconcile the beans.xml and classes resulting in it not finding any. This is contrary to how a Jar archive and Maven would do this as they would be both placed into the same root file system rather than split.

Expected behavior: Use single /classes directory by default as per Jar.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create Helidon Microprofile application (uses Weld for CDI)
2. Wrap using jib-maven-plugin
3. Launch

Environment: Helidon 1.0.0, Maven 3.6, Jib 1.0.0

jib-maven-plugin Configuration:

TODO

Workaround: Place beans.xml file in src/main/jib/app/classes/META-INF.

#905 is fixed, and the next Jib release will enable embedding a JAR. When using a JAR, the class files and resource files will be loaded from the same location, so I think this can work as a viable solution for this Weld and CDI issue. There is a small price to pay, but I think this issue can be handled best with a JAR. Closing.

I see, appreciate the explanation. It still feels strange that it would use the physical layout to make decisions. I guess you have your workaround for now. We’ll take another look at CDI too.
