WTP 1.0RC5 and dependent modules [message #152775]

Am having a few problem with 1.0RC5 and dependent modules. Have written a
simple test case with a JSP which makes a call to the Commons Lang class
RandomUtils.

If I place the Commons JAR file into the WEB-INF/lib directory then the
JSP works as expected, however as I'm a maven user I don't want the libs
in all my projects, I want to use a variable to point to my maven repo.
So I created the variable and added the JAR as a variable reference in the
"J2EE Module Dependencies" page. The JSP looks OK within eclipse (no red
error underline in the JSP edit window) but when I view the JSP in the
browser I get a "cannot resolved type" error for RandomUtils. If I check
the deployment directory the Commons JAR file is not in the lib directory.

I checked the .settings/.component file and the entry for the JAR is
there, it's just not being copied on deployment. Also tried using "Add
external JAR" option instead of a Variable, but got the same result.

What am I doing wrong?!? Is the "J2EE Module Dependencies" page working??
Do I have to do something else to get the "external jars" copied to the
deployment directory?

You probably want to keep an eye on:

Thanks for the heads up ... am a little distressed that it's not targeted
until 1.0.1.
