> I am attaching a sample project that shows this issue.
> In short, a packaged EAR file that contains a JAR, which uses the Class-Path entry in the JAR's MANIFEST.MF file, will not correctly load the JAR's Class-Path entries, and instead throw NoClassDefFoundErrors.  The same EAR, when exploded, loads properly.
> To test:  in the attached project, run 'ant explode-ear'.  Attempt to load first the exploded ear, then the packaged ear, into JBoss.
> in the JMX Control panel, look for the test.ear:name=TestService MBean.  Execute the 'createThing' operation.  This can be validated with the 'seeThing' operation.
> In the correctly-working exploded EAR, createThing works properly.  In the packaged EAR, createThing fails with a NoClassDefFoundError.
