library-inclusion-in-archive not used by -do-ear-dist of EJB module

[jduprez]

Hello,
I have an EJB module that uses a "non-jar" library (the library contains a jar, but also configuration files that are supposed to be in the classpath but out of the library jar).
I added the library in the EJB's project, with "package" checked.

When I do a "Clean and Build" of the EJB project using NetBeans 6.9.1, the conf files are added in the generated EJB jar.
But when a do a "Clean and Build" of the EAR project that contains the EJB, the conf files are NOT added in the generated EJB jar, instead they are added in the EAR.

I think I traces the difference to the Ant target "dist" depending on library-inclusion-in-archive and library-inclusion-in-manifest whereas "do-ear-dist" depends only on "library-inclusion-in-manifest".

What troubles me is, the Ant build executed in command-line (out of NetBeans) still has the conf files in the EJB jar.

Additionally, the conf files used to also be in the EJB jar when I would "Clean&Build" the EAR with NetBeans 6.5.
However, I haven't found differences in these targets when I migrated the project from NB6.5 to 6.9.1. So I assume the difference comes from some Ant cmd-line property that is different between the two version NB6.5/6.9.1

Is this "new" behavior intentional?

N.B.: I think I can work around the issue by forcing library-inclusion-in-archive in some of my build.xml's overridable targets. But I'd like to understand why the behavior is different, as it may be a problem in either of my development/build environment setup.

Thank you in advance,

Jérôme
