The answer to this question depends very much on what appserver (vendor and
version) you are using.
If it is a JEE5 compliant server (JBoss 5.x, WebLogic 10.x, WebSphere 7.x)*,
then you do not need manifest classpaths to be generated at all. All jars
placed in the lib directory of the EAR will be visible to both EJB and WAR
classes.
Are you sure about this? I'm asking because this is not the behaviour
I'm seeing for a WAR deployed to Websphere 7.0.0.7. In order for the
containing EAR's jar's to be visible from the WAR I have to specify them
explicitly in the WAR's manifest. This, on the other hand, is not
necessary for JBoss 5.1, as you say.
This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that all transitive
dependencies have to be specified in the POM, so that they are
explicitly mentioned in the manifest classpath.
