When you change the deploy path of a project in the deployment assembly, you may get unexpected results if you remove the archive file name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a Dynamic Web Project "TestDWP"
2. create a Utility Project "TestUtility"
3. go to the Deployment Assembly of "TestDWP", Add... | Project | Next > | select TestUtility | Finish
4. the default Deploy Path for the added project is WEB-INF/lib/TestUtility.jar (by the way: why WTP 3.3 is now setting the archive name by default? In older versions of WTP the default deploy path would have been just WEB-INF/lib and I personally preferred the old behaviour, which did not create a dependency to the utility project name...)
5. change the Deploy Path to WEB-INF/lib and press OK
6. type Ctrl+Shift+R and open the file .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component for TestDWP project
7. look at the <dependent-module> element for the TestUtility project

EXPECTED RESULT
<dependent-module deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/TestUtility/TestUtility">

ACTUAL RESULT
<dependent-module archiveName="lib" deploy-path="/WEB-INF" handle="module:/resource/TestUtility/TestUtility">
