Yes, if that file is found it is used. What is new is that the file can be
removed
without any harm.

> do we still work with non-WTP projects ? (we must)

We have already been working with Seam java projects without creating this
file.

Yes, it contains information about web modules. First, it was implemented in
Struts,
and our specification required to support references to any location on disk
for
struts-config.xml, module root folders, java src folder, etc. That is why
Struts is so
dependent on our xml file and that is why paths are absolute.
Dialog "Modules Configuration" illustrates the dependency.
Later, when JSF was developed, no support for such an elaborate dependency
was provided, instead, auto-restoring references by analyzing web.xml was
implemented.
That is, JSF implementation was more prepared to dismiss that xml,
by addressing WTP in the algorithm for restoring references.

Then, with that stipulation, I think, JBIDE-1714 and JBIDE-1820 are fixed.
