If the report is correct, then specifying libraries on the classpath does not work for EAR projects in WTP. That would mean we'd have to go back to putting them in the component descriptor for EAR projects. We should investigate whether this is really the case, using the example the user provided.
Turns out that the classpath attributes don't work well if they define wtp deployment information. For non-java projects the component descriptor file works fine.
