> From Java EE 5, a library directory may be specified in the application.xml
> (element library-directory). The Maven EAR Plugin already supports this for
> generating the application.xml (value of property defaultLibBundleDir).
> The Java EE 5 specification mandates that all JAR files contained in the
> library directory be made available to all modules within the EAR file (cf.
> chapter EE.8.2.1 Bundled Libraries, section 2).
> If one specifies both the skinnyWars (value = true) and defaultLibBundleDir
> parameters, the libraries will be removed from the WAR and copied to the
> defaultLibBundleDir. They will also be added to the Class-Path in the WAR
> files manifest. This is unnecessary as per the Java EE 5 specification. Even
> worse, it breaks my EAR on WebLogic (classloading issues).
> I therefore propose the following improvement to the skinny WAR's
> functionality: If the Java EE version is 5 or greater and the
> defaultLibBundleDir has been specified, the Class-Path in the WAR's manifest
> should remain unchanged.
> I've created a corresponding patch and integration test.
