  When deploying a project, ejbdeplooy updates the classpath to
  include the correct jar files but then removes any jar files
  that are also $WAS_HOME/lib
  
  This causes deploy errors

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The RMIC process invoked by the         *
  *                      EJBDeployment tool does not include     *
  *                      JAR files in sub directories of         *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When EJBDeploy invokes the RMIC tool to generate the stubs and
  ties it builds a classpath taking all of the JAR files from
  the $WAS_HOME/lib/ and $WAS_HOME/plugins/ contents.  However,
  it excludes JAR files that can be found in sub-directories of
  these directories.  This can lead to ClassNotFoundExceptions
  if the EJB requires, for example, the MQ libraries found in
  the $WAS_HOME/lib/WMQ/java/lib/ directory.
  

Problem conclusion

• The EJBDeployment tool will now properly include JAR files
  found in sub directories of $WAS_HOME/lib and
  $WAS_HOME/plugins/.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit fixpack 6.1.1.8 and
  Rational Application Developer fixpack 7.0.0.8.  Please refer
