I haven't looked at the code yet, so I can only guess that you'll need Tomcat around to compile it. It would be included as an optional task just because of this. Personally I'd like to move a bunch of tasks to the optional area that are currently part of the core as well, but I won't tackle this before we have the extension mechanism in place. For the time being I'm reluctant to add tasks to the taskdefs package directly unless they are really core tasks (and I broke this rule myself with <war>, sorry). I'm planning to include all tasks that can be built without external libraries in the distribution (including those below .optional like <jlink> or <native2ascii>) if I should be the person to put the distribution together.
