-1.  The testcase ear is a perfectly valid deployment, and I doubt it's unusual in the real world.   I know at my previous employer we had several ears like this. (I didn't write the testcase ear, so I'm not responsible for both examples ;) )

I agree, doing that doesn't have a good "feel."  That's because it doesn't address the fundamental problem -- JBAS-2904 assumes there is a clear ordering expressed in the ear deployment descriptors.  But, there isn't, because there are two descriptors with mutually exclusive content.  IMHO a correct solution to JBAS-2904 requires a clear way for the user to define the complete ordering.

This isn't my call, but JBAS-2904 doesn't feel like something that should go out in a point release.
