	 * referenced by an EAR) or to the /WEB-INF/lib directory of the WAR (if the project is a 
	 * web library reference of a web project); the runtime path of "../" is used to represent the mapping
	 * into the referencing module in both of these cases. Tagged classpath entries that reference class folders for utility, ejb and connector projects
	 * will map into the root of the utility, ejb or connector archive.
	 * Only container, library and variable entries are currently supported; for containers, only the resolved
	 * entries that are library entries are supported. All resolved entries are mapped unless they have the 
	 * "org.eclipse.jst.component.nondependency" attribute (or are project which are not currently supported and are therefore always skipped).
