Hello,

I've been using m2e 1.1 together with m2e-wtp 0.15.2 for some time and 
came across an issue that bugs me when deploying an application to 
WebSphere Application Server 8.0.

I'm using the maven-war-plugin version 2.2, the maven-ear-plugin version 
2.7  and maven-ejb-plugin version 2.3. I implemented the known workaround 
to support skinny wars as following within the maven-war-plugin:
 
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration> 
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
        <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</packagingExcludes>     
        <archive>
            <manifest>
                <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> 
                <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix> 
            </manifest>
        </archive> 
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Inside the EAR plugin, the configuration parameter 'defaultLibBundleDir' 
is set to 'lib/' too. All dependencies are added to both the ear and the 
war project with scope 'compile'.

Now I got confused by the generated war, as the included MANIFEST.MF 
contains a Class-Path entry that lists ejbs under lib/ too, while the 
maven-ear-plugin includes them in the root directory of the ear. 

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Build-Jdk: 1.6.0
Built-By: zmbfts4
Class-Path: lib/pas-tools-2012.2.0.jar lib/logging-5.0.0.jar lib/util-
 5.0.0.jar lib/pas-system-2012.2.0.jar lib/jaxb2-basics-runtime-0.6.3.
 jar lib/joda-time-2.0.jar

Here, lib/pas-system-2012.2.0.jar should be without 'lib/' as it is an EJB 
Project and this way listed as dependency.

Under WebSphere, this leads to an error, as classes from the WAR do no 
longer find classes from the EJB.

When I manually generate the classpath entry for the MANIFEST.MF, they 
application works correctly:

<archive>
    <manifestEntries>
        <Class-Path>lib/pas-tools-2012.2.0.jar lib/logging-5.0.0.jar 
                 lib/util-5.0.0.jar pas-system-2012.2.0.jar 
                 lib/jaxb2-basics-runtime-0.6.3.jar lib/joda-time-2.0.jar
        </Class-Path>
    </manifestEntries>
</archive> 

Does anybody know what the problem here might be? Do I do something wrong 
here? 

Thank you

Heiko
