Guys,
You should only have one jboss-seam.jar per application. Period.
Please stop trying to invent new packaging schemes ;-)
Knowing Max, the next question is "Why?". Yes, the WAR classloader
will hide the EAR classloader, however you end up with two problems:
* if you try to load a component on the WAR classloader, then use it
in the EJB jar, you will get a CCE (this is a bonus problem to the one
you found)
* classloaders don't just load classes, they also posses the ability
to load resources, and also (critically) the ability to load all the
resources in every classpath root on the classpath. So, if you add
jboss-seam.jar twice, all the resources inside will be on the
classpath twice. And, in fact, this behaviour is logical, and correct
if you think it through.
So, please fix this in JBT :-)

I don't think JBoss tools changed behavior in this aspect. The
question is if JBT EAR projects actually put the seam jar both in
ear and in web-inf/lib in the projects (not the deploy).
That should not have any sideeffects (but it does because of the way
seam 2.1.x is doing things), but if that is the case then we can fix
it by not having the web-inf/lib/seam.jar.
