[appassembler] CLASSPATH environment variable overflow for too many dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MOJO-553
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-553
             Project: Mojo
          Issue Type: New Feature
         Environment: windows
            Reporter: Luca Dall'Olio


Having hundreds of dependencies the windows shell script tries to create a huge 
environment variable, which overflows. You get a "line too long" when running.

A possible solution would be to load jars inside the shell script by using a 
classloader like Jakarta Commons Launcher 
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/launcher/, Ant, Uberjar or perhaps 
Classworlds http://classworlds.codehaus.org/

This would also open a whole new range of possibilities : having jar 
directories with different priorities (say an empty "patches" directory), 
having a different class loading order then the usual alphanumeric order (for 
conflicting jars)
