Hi Kory, are you using the Eclipse all-in-one bundle (e.g.,
eclipse-jee-ganymede-win32.zip for windows) ?? I ask since I'm not seeing what
you are. When I add a new utility and then add it to an EAR project it shows up
fine in Eclipse in the EAR's "Bundled Libraries" files (either under /lib or not
depending on how I specify in the EAR's Java EE Project Module Dependencies). It
exports fine as well, which sounds like that is working fine for you. Also, when
I select the Java EE Project Module Dependencies for one of my project not
included in the EAR I get this message: "Selected module is not referenced by any
EAR or Dynamic Web modules.", which makes sense since it's not. In both cases I'm
getting the expected results, whereas you are not. Are you getting in error in
your .log file in the .metadata directory of your workspace ??

Should we move this into the JIRA?
I was able to create the Utility Project successfully. If I export the EAR,
then Eclipse bundles it correctly into the EAR file (whether it is put into
the root or the lib directory depends on a setting in the EAR's project.)
However inside Eclipse the contents of the project are not being found.
Specifically, the project does not appear in the WTP's "EAR Libraries"
classpath container.
Here's the confusing part. We have 3 utility projects (I hadn't noticed
these before) that were working in 2.0.2 and are still working in 2.1.2. I
tried everything I could think of comparing these (which work fine) to the
one I created above (which doesn't work) and manually modifying files
outside of Eclipse, etc.. I couldn't get the new one to work no matter what
I did. I even cloned one of the working projects, changed it's name, and it
wouldn't work. I'll look into this more tomorrow, hopefully something will
come to me in the meantime.
I did notice that going to the "Java EE Module Dependencies" page in the
properties of any project other than the EAR project (including EJB, WEB and
utility projects) would give a "Could not accept changes" "The currently
displayed page contains invalid values" error message. Not sure if this is
new or not.

Hi Kory, sorry for the misunderstanding. I though you were actually using
the
geronimo-service.xml file, when you were in fact just using Java EE
Utility
projects. So obviously we erroneously removed support for utility projects
having
Geronimo as a target runtime when we removed support for
geronimo-service.xml
files (via GERONIMODEVTOOLS-356). This support has been added back. Would
you be
able to test it out to ensure it works now for you ?? I've placed the zip
on our
unstable site, but you'll have to uninstall your current GEP before
unzipping it
into your current installation. Or better yet, you might want to test it
with a
new Eclipse installation so we don't adversely impact you yet again.
Thanks much
for you help and patience.
