Monkey.Jungle Excludes in a Barrel

I know this has come up before and it won't work.  I may have tried it myself, but I don't recall.

Barrels are kind of odd things.  Using code from a barrel increases the overhead in the main app vs just directly referencing the files in the main app..

Also, if you look at a .barrel file, it's mainly just a zip of the barrel project and contains no compiled code but does include all the source.  When you use a barrel in an app, the barrel gets expanded and built for each target if you are doing something like an export.

I seem to recall that there's also something with strings, where resource overrides based on language don't work, and resources in general are referenced in a different way,

As far has handling what you want to do, the way I'd do it is something like in the main app, you call a function in the barrel to pass info.  Like

MyBarrel.setDevice(isEdge840);

and then in the barrel, use that variable as needed.  You can also use a parameter when you do a "new" on something in the barrel.

Right now, I probably have a dozen or more barrel projects, but I generally just use the mc files in that barrel project directly to save on the overhead.
