I swear I mentioned this on dev alias at least twice before, but point
taken - we should update "Adding Module" and "Distribution Assembly
Process" wiki pages...

In addition to web and glassfish distributions, we produce their IPS
enabled counterparts, i.e. glassfish-ips and glassfish-web-ips and their
content is controlled through packager and distributions-ips modules.
So, if you are adding new dependencies to any of the POMs in
distributions module, have in mind that similar change will have to be
done in packager (and possibly distributions-ips, if whole new IPS
package is being introduced) in order to see newly added content in IPS
enabled distribution(s).

In some cases, new dependency can be added to one of existing packager
modules while in other cases it requires creation of whole new IPS
package. Since this needs to be decided on case by case basis, please
contact me as soon as you know you will be integrating new modules and
you have some idea of the content and its dependencies.

At the moment I am either actively working or at least aware of
following required packager integrations:

* connectors-inbound-runtime
* CMP
* ORB
* MQ
* Web Beans/Bean Validation

If you are planning to integrate something else that is not on this
list, please let me know...

Thanks,

Snjezana
