However, the AS server adapter in JBT does not respect the context root as declared in the project, deploys it using the project name in the workspace instead. This mismatch between war file and context root leads to a 404.

hmm - the only restriction I recall is the same we are bumping into now, projectname == deployment name by default and if that doesn't matches 
yeah you get funkyness.

Could it be that in the past dirname == artifactid  thus it was perceived as being tied to artifactid ?
