  ****************************************************************
  When publishing an application to a v6.x WebSphere Application
  Server, binary JAR files residing in the Enterprise
  Application project or the WEB-INF\lib folder of a Web project
  are being included on the looseconfig.xml file causing an
  OpenFailureException when the application is published to
  WebSphere Application Server.  An example exception in the
  console is:
  
  *** ERROR ***: Mon Apr 16 20:29:56 EDT 2007
  org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception
  .OpenFailureException: IWAE0034E Could not open the nested

Problem conclusion

• Static binary JAR files will no longer be included in the
  generated looseconfig.xmi file when publishing an application
  from Rational Application Developer v7.0 or WebSphere
  Application Server Toolkit v6.1 and the WebSphere Application
  Server runtime can locate them without the need of the
  looseconfig entry.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  Rational Application Developer v7.0.0.4 and WebSphere
  Application Server Toolkit v6.1.1.4.  Please refer to the
