Deploying an eclipse module to multiple locations on the same server [message #652349]

I am trying to use Eclipse Helios to deploy modules to a server which will expose an applet where some modules are required by both the applet and the server. To better explain this I have given a scenario below (I have simplified my problem as I am working with a lot more module than described in the example, however the principle is the same):

Imagine a project with the following 4 modules (each as a Java project in eclipse):
-data (required by both the applet and the server)
-interface (required by both the applet and the server)
-server-code (required only by the server)
-applet-code (required only by the applet)

The applet goes into %WEPAPP_ROOT%/applet and the server code will obviously go in the %WEBAPP_ROOT%/WEB-INF/lib folder.

I have created another project (Server) which is a dynamic web project and have edited the org.eclipse.wst.common.component to look like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0">
    <wb-module deploy-name="Server">
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/WebContent"/>
        <dependent-module archiveName="data.jar" deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/data/data">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>
        <dependent-module archiveName="interface.jar" deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/interface/interface">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>
        <dependent-module archiveName="server-code.jar" deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/server-code/server-code">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>
        <dependent-module archiveName="applet-code.jar" deploy-path="/applet" handle="module:/resource/applet-code/applet-code">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>
        <dependent-module archiveName="data.jar" deploy-path="/applet" handle="module:/resource/data/data">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>
        <dependent-module archiveName="interface.jar" deploy-path="/applet" handle="module:/resource/interface/interface">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>
        <property name="context-root" value="Server"/>
        <property name="java-output-path" value="/Server/build/classes"/>
    </wb-module>
</project-modules>

When I add the Server project to my Tomcat server and publish the modules interface.jar, data.jar and server-code.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder build fine and the applet-code.jar appears in the applet folder, but the interface.jar and data.jar do not appear in the applet directory.

Is there a syntax for instructing eclipse to publish the same module to two different locations on the server?

I don't think WTP supports having more than one dependency on a
particular project. My guess is that it is only "acting" on the first
one when publishing.
