Just did a double-check and noticed that the "offending" class isn't a
nested dependency, just the dependency itself =). Slap that jar
(json-lib-2.3-jdk15.jar)
into the lib directory, along with the dependencies.../should/ work...=)

EJB modules are suppose to be deployed as .jar files, as defined in the
spec. It's not a netbeans-specific thing =)

EE packaging/deployment management has a long way to go, IMHO, which is why
I'm looking more and more of making a transition to a OSGi based framework.
I know GFv3 is making strides in exposing OSGi to the application developers
- but it's not quick enough for my current projects.

Hope it works this time =)
