This is the way to add your jar, but you need to use the
<dependency>
     <uri>MyJar/MyJay/1.0/jar</uri>
</dependency>

element (in geronimo 1.0).  The <import> element can only refer to  
another configuration, not a plain jar.

In 1.1 we have changed the syntax for this quite a bit so both jars  
and configurations (now renamed modules) are referred to with the  
<dependency> element.  (This is not a complete description of the  
syntax differences).


Hope this helps,
