Description

In a web project, create a library
when Idea asks add it to the module containing the web facet
See the web facet setting: Idea configured the library as "Copy files to" - "WEB-INF/classes".

If you select a different deployment method from the dropdown, then switch back to "Copy files to", then the path changes to the correct "WEB-INF/lib".

Bump. Just fell into that trap again.

Was that a big/risky change to make?
I feel this is worth fixing in Selena, too.

For me it's fixed in Diana 8529, but not fixed in Selena 7894.
To reproduce I followed the description. Library was created on the project level.

A note regarding this:
> If you select a different deployment method from the dropdown, then switch back to "Copy files to", then the path changes to the correct "WEB-INF/lib".
If library is empty then action name is "Copy directory" and workaround above does not work.
If library contains a jar then action name is "Copy files" and workaround above works.

Several more experiments in Selena have given correct results. Hm...
