+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #182064 +++

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Dynamic Web Project.
2. Add some library JARs in the WebContent/WEB-INF/lib directory.
3. Add the "Web App Libraries" library container to the Build Path of the project (either through right-click on the project, "Build Path" > "Add Libraries..." or directly from the "Build Path" page in the project properties).
4. Go to the "Build Path" page in the project properties.
5. Select a library included in the "Web App Libraries" container.
6. The "Migrate JAR File" action is not available.

More information:
This "Migrate JAR File" feature is available for JARs added solely to the build path through either:
Project "Properties" > Java Build Path > Libraries > "Add JARs..." button (then select the jar)
or
select a jar > right-click / context menu > Build Path > Add to build Path

AFAIK you can select the JAR and then Refactor > Migrate JAR File...

As I included a screenshot, you can see it doesn't work.

Yes, I know. It's not working if the JAR is in a library. That's why it's a dup of bug 182064.
