I've seen folks use this in development when they don't have proper 
dependency declarations (ie. JAR A depends on JAR B, JAR B is removed, 
then put in place again).  So the development build instead keeps the 
existing JAR, but modifies internal contents.  Yes, hacky, but worked 
best for their setup (they should have been using an EAR or exploded 
directory).
