I think the claims of this being requested by users are suspect. Marc presented some alternatives in the London training, and this one won a vote. I don't think that means anyone asked for it or would find it useful. It means it looked good after Marc's presentation.
Anyway, I think there is a real bug nearby that we need to fix. See http://jboss.org/forums/thread.jsp?forum=46&thread=13456&start=0&msRange=15 (hope the link works) If a jar file references a nonexistent jar file in the manifest classpath entry, something (the scanner???) goes haywire and keeps trying to deploy the ./deploy directory as if it is a package. Presumably there is a missing existence check somewhere.
