Hi Markus, Yes the bin.xml configuration is not complete it seems. I don't have a strong opinion on wether it should be there or not while it stays consistent accross all AsfEE projects (last time I checked tomee, batchee, openwebbeans, meecrowave were adding API jar - idea being to download and run without downloading yet another thing).
