So what the problem with that , if user want he can drop his own
services and see what happen.

I agree , but if you go thru the JIRA list you will find out how many
JIRAs there in the list on war distribution and related web-admin. As I
can understand that is mean ppl are using axis2 war distribution. So why
dont we ship that ?. As I  remember correct we had war distribution
since Axis2 M1 and most of the users were (are) using that. Why do you
want to change that in this release ?

As I said earlier , you are only targeting advanced user , not the users
who are just planing to try Axis2 .

They (I also did) the same thing with previous release (I mean modify
the samples and run). For me no difference b.w the two

Did you find any use case for that , please point me to a JIRA or
related mail thread.

This is not a new thing , even in last release we had the something (we
had six distributions) , as I can understand correctly we are not adding
anything we are just removing the useful stuff from the release.

Good ,


At this point I am not going to -1 this change , but I am not agree with
this .Most of the time I test services and modules by deploying
axis2.war in tomcat, and having axis2.war is very useful to me. So as  a
user I would like to have axis2.war.

Thanks
