In Java EE 5, your life will be much simpler if you don't bother
with the application.xml file. Just create an ear file that
contains bnpr.jar, along with all the other jar files in a "lib"
subdirectory. Nothing else, no application.xml, no special
MANIFEST.MF (just the one the jar tool creates for you by default).
