-------------------------------------
Well, fair enough, I'm not too happy about an option just for working around a
bug.
But you did bring up the point that library-directory would only get written if
defaultLibDirectory is set. Can I ask, is there a reason why JARs are written
to the root by default? From
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd:
"If this element [library-directory] isn't specified, the directory named "lib"
is searched."
Should jars be written to lib/ by default instead of the root? It seems to be
the expected location according to the spec and would seem to eliminate the
need for defining defaultLibDirectory in most cases.

> 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.
