[jboss-dev] VFS3 (in AS trunk) - Non .jar file handling

I see a new behaviour with VFS3 in JBoss AS. Earlier in AS-5/6 (with
VFS2) and AS-4 (without any VFS), to try out some quick fixes, i used to
rename existing jar files to end with .bak name and replace them with
the new patched jar file. So for example, if i had a fix in
jboss-ejb3-core.jar, i would:
1) Rename the JBOSS_HOME/common/lib/jboss-ejb3-core.jar to
JBOSS_HOME/common/lib/jboss-ejb3-core.jar.orig.bak
2) Place a patched jboss-ejb3-core.jar in JBOSS_HOME/common/lib
3) Restart the server
The server would then pickup the new patched jar file and ignore the
.bak file. After testing the fix, i would then revert back to the
original jar file by renaming it back to its original name.
However, with the recent upgrade to VFS3 in AS trunk, i notice that even
the .bak is used for classloading (following is the output from
-verbose:class JVM argument):
[Loaded org.jboss.ejb3.EJBContainer from
file:/NotBackedUp/jpai/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/trunk/build/target/jboss-6.0.0-SNAPSHOT/common/lib/jboss-ejb3-core.jar.orig.bak/]
Looks like VFS3 picks up this non .jar suffix file for classloading. Is
this expected? Shouldn't it be looking for only .jar files (atleast in
this context)?
