Fix will be in the Next release of the plugin. When lib jars are locked,
only a warning will be emitted in the plugin log. Now, if you want to
really update/change this jar file in the project, you'll have to
undeploy the app to release the app, and then redeploy the app. This
combined with optimal dir re-deploy of library projects (with no locks)
if correctly setup, covers most/all of the helper libraries cases.
