Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to export an EAR or WAR with the 'export source files'
  option selected results in the source code for a dynamic web
  project not always being included in the resulting archive file.
  
  Problem:
  
  This problem can happen when the project has multiple source
  folders and the metadata for the source folder entries in the
  ?project?/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component is not
  correct.  For example, the Java EE project metadata file has an
  source path entry that does not exist in the workspace.
  
  Local Fix:
  
  Manually editing this metadata file to correct this situation is
  possible; however, this should only be done if advised to do so
  by IBM Rational Application Developer support.  Opening the
  ?project?/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component file and
  removing any source path entries that point to resources that do
  not exist within the workspace.  For example,
  
  Remove:
  ?wb-resource deploy-path='/WEB-INF/classes'
  source-path='/src.main.java'/?
  
  if the source folder 'src.main.java' does not exists.
