Stephane Nicoll commented on MEAR-146:
--------------------------------------
Well, I think you got it wrong or I am missing something. Your request *IS*
about working around a bug!
The answer is backward compatibility. This option was present way before
JavaEE5 came out (actually it was mostly used on old weblogic version and the
magic APP-INF/lib thing). Changing the behavior of an existing option according
the version of the spec you use is a bit tricky.
The other reason is that users (for mysterious reasons) keep on willing to put
libs in the root. If you change the default, it's harder to justify the
behavior breakage.

> Key: MEAR-146
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-146
> Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.8
> Environment: Oracle WebLogic
> Reporter: Alex Halovanic
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: ear-remove-librarydirectory-IT.patch,

> The current handling of defaultLibBundleDir leads to some issues on Oracle
> Weblogic 10+. The Ear plugin currently sets library-directory to the value
> of defaultLibBundleDir in the application.xml for EARs v5+. Some of Oracle's
> classloading features break (specifically "Generic File Loading") when this
> element is set. defaultLibBundleDir has to be set to APP-INF/lib since this
> is the magic library folder for WebLogic.
> The patch adds a parameter to prevent setting library-directory for cases
> like this.
