but just in case there's an alternative work-around method
(Ant...something else?), is it possible for me to include a JAR file
within my project's JAR file and still access that internal JAR file?

Thanks

Actually, as a follow-up, if a JAR within a JAR is not possible - what
is a good way to deploy a project from Eclipse so everything is
deployed to the appropriate location?

Sure. You would need to download and expand that
to a separate archive before doing any further class or
resource loading from it, but it is possible.
