As an aside, the new deployer can not distribute unpacked modules. Is it
intentional?
JSR-88 doesn't support unpacked modules. If you like, we could
assume any directory is an unpacked module, JAR it, distribute the JAR,
then delete the JAR. To be slightly fancier would could check for one of
the standard DDs in the correct location before making that assumption...
God I hope not. I spend a long long long time making sure our code would work with unpacked archives. People don't want to jar up a deployment during development. Having the tool jar it up, is a bit better than no support at all, but the extra coping is unbearable when dealing with a large web app (100 MB). I actually hope we soon will have support unpacked in place deployment, which involves no coping to the config store.
