This seems indeed to be the case. Almost all of the libraries I mentioned earlier indeed have this main class listed! More precisely, the ones I mentioned that have "J2EE Application Client Module" when I hover with the mouse over them are the ones who have this Main-Class entry. The one that said "J2EE EJB Module" doesn't have this Main-Class, but it does have classes with EJB annotations. However, since this particular jar is in the EAR/lib directory, it doesn't seem JBoss tools has to do anything special with it regarding deployment. After I upgraded to JBoss tools 3.2 CR1 I now get the following in my log after I do a clean/full deploy: !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:39.610 !MESSAGE Module my_main published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:39.614 !MESSAGE Module jbosscache-core.jar published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:39.618 !MESSAGE Module jgroups.jar published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:39.627 !MESSAGE Module my_ejb_client.jar published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:39.670 !MESSAGE Module some_main_ejb published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:40.238 !MESSAGE Module my_main_web published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:40.249 !MESSAGE Module jxl.jar published without error. !ENTRY org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core 0 33685505 2011-02-16 13:15:40.265 !MESSAGE Module saxon9.jar published without error. In this case, the actual deployment that is copied to JBoss AS is simply: my_main     my_main_ejb     my_main_web     lib        jbosscache-core.jar        jgroups.jar        some_ejb_client.jar        commons-codec.jar        ... [bunch of other jars]        joda-time.jar As can be seen, the jars that are somehow treated "differently' by the deployer all simply end up in my_main/lib. It's highly confusing that the deployer as well as the GUI treats them differently. Since CR1 is does say "published without error" now. Unfortunately, it still hapens that when I save a single file, the deployer suddenly pulishes 1000+ other files, and eventually this gives me a deployment with lots of deleted (missing) files as I have been seeing since the first beta versions of JBoss tools 3.2. I've also now confirmed seeing the problem on a completely different machine, but same project (different OS too: Unbuntu vs OS X), so this would rule out a local installation problem. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/587735#587735] Start a new discussion in JBoss Tools at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
