In-Place sharedlib support

[Sachin Patel]

Currently the sharedlib support does not allow individual absolute jar entries to be specified.  What are people's thoughts on allowing this? In the eclipse tooling, I'd like to support projects that have external jar entries to be deployed in-place to the shared library.   I implemented an alternative solution, which I quickly found to fail on windows, and that was to provide a dummy jar with absolute classpath entries that point back to these external jars. This worked great on mac/linux, but apparently its not part of the jar manifest spec and does not work on windows. Any suggestions? -sachin
