Indeed, to be deployed by WTP as a simple jar (in a war or ear), most projects need the Utility facet (and the Java one). However, if your projects need a special treatment for packaging (ex. sar projects can embed other libs) or need to be deployed standalone (not in ear nor war) Then one should : - create a dedicated facet - modify the server adapters to allow standalone deployment of these new modules (that's what Rob did for the new SAR support) Of course creating a dedicated facet can also be useful just in terms of tooling support (if you plan to create project wizards, eclipse builders ...) Anyway, as long as you use plain old jar
