Now I've looked at the source code and fixed the problem (which I had
previously invented by putting a .txt file in the deploy directory before
running "build dist-zip"...).
What does the EJB spec say about "ejb-jar-files"? Is it legal to have a
mybeans.txt jar-file or should each jar file end with .jar? My fix in the
AutoDeployer class simply involved something like: if
(URL.toString().endsWith(".txt")) ignore_it;
Anyway if the spec restricts jar-files to the .jar suffix then I think that
the AutoDeployer should ignore _files_ with other extentsions (seems like a
simple thing to fix).
