[GRADLE-2785] Gradle Ear plugin generates wrong descriptor for JavaEE 1.4 Created: 29/May/13  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

The following configuration generates descriptor that contains 'library-directory' element, which is not defined by XSD for J2EE 1.4:

ear {
libDirName 'APP-INF/lib'
deploymentDescriptor {
version = "1.4"
displayName = project.name
}
}

If I omit libDirName, then libraries are put into 'lib' folder, not into 'APP-INF/lib' as required by WebLogic to which I deploy the EAR.

I'm trying to use withXml to fix, but in any case it seems that this behaviour is a bug since it generates an invalid descriptor.
