Well, in fact, I have to confess that it does not completely works.
I had in my own module a jsp that was using dynamic content provided by RSS 
feeds. And the copy process broke the classpoath, making bunch of 
exceptions. So, I removed the module, reinsert it, and it ever not seems to 
work.
So, if someone has an idea on how to put clear classpath entries, it would 
really be helpful.
Thanks.
