Damn, is it really that complicated!?
The Class-Path entry in a MANIFEST.MF file points to a archive
***RELATIVE*** to the archive containing this MANIFEST.MF. This way an
Class-Path entry in the ear files MANIFEST.MF can never reference a
archive INSIDE the ear file. It would try to find the archive outside
the ear file relative to it (but actually the Class-Path entry in the
ear files MANIFEST.MF is never checked).
To reference an archive inside the ear from an other archive inside the
ear, you must add the Class-Path entry to the archives MANIFEST.MF
inside the ear file (your bean archive)!
