Great find! 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 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.
