In case it helps avoid some head scratching, those of you who use Tomcat and 
the Deployment Assembly project properties page should be aware of a change to 
Tomcat publishing that will appear in the next build.  As of the next build, 
dynamic web projects published by the Tomcat server adapter will honor the 
Deploy Path specified in the Deployment Assembly page.  Prior to this, project 
and jar dependencies were hardcoded to publish to "WEB-INF/lib", regardless of 
what was specified as the deploy-path in the org.eclipse.wst.common.component 
file.

You should note that the _current_ behavior of the Deployment Assembly page 
tends to map dependent jars and projects to the root of a dynamic web project 
as the default.  Unless you manually update the Deploy Path of added 
dependencies to include "/WEB-INF/lib", your dynamic web project isn't likely 
to work as expected when run on a Tomcat server with the next WTP 3.2 build.

For details about the publishing change, you can refer to Bug 306732 [1].

Cheers,
Larry
