I'm doing that and it works ok. All I did was go to the web project's
properties and choose the java project as a "J2EE module dependency".
They call that a "utility" project for some weird reason.
Is that what you did?

Oh my that's irritating. Same config; different results. I don't see any
mention of a "jar" in my console. I'm using the new callisto release.
You too?
I just tested this on XP.
I've gotten into the habit of inspecting
..metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core
occasionally. Poke around and maybe something will tell you the problem.

It is a known issue on Windows. My understanding is that if the JAR has
been accessed, an open handle is kept, I assume for performance reasons,
until the JAR is closed and the JAR file object garbage collected. On
Windows, this open handle is sufficient to lock the JAR file. Since the
publish operation in Web Tools tries to delete the file before creating
a new one, the publish operation fails.
The only work around I can think of at the moment is to use Eclipse 3.2
+ WTP 1.5 and temporarily link the "utility" Java file to be worked on
into the Java source folder of your Dynamic Web Project. Eclipse 3.2
supports linking beyond just the project's root folder. The servlet
spec dictates that if there are duplicate classes between
WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib, WEB-INF/classes wins. You will still
get the "locked JAR" error, but the web application will still reload
and see your changes because of the updated class in WEB-INF/classes.
Remove the link when you are "done" with the modifications.
To be investigated is whether publishing can be updated to rewrite the
JAR if it can't be deleted.
Cheers,
Larry

changes effect my application immediately (without restarting).
The only thing is that the can-not-publish-because-jar-is-locked-dialog
really "nerves"
