I don't know why we would make it harder for someone to install watch. Maintaining the distribution is really easy and requires almost no change at all (as we can see from our XE experience). I'd definitely agree with 0/ once we can install Watch as a single bundle (maybe with the extension manager ;)). To summarize, we need to make it as easy as possible for users to try it out. Re the web.xml merge it's not hard to do it with a maven plugin or ant task. In the future we should do without the need to modify web.xml of course. BTW would be interesting to see how long it takes to get rid of this need. I don't think that fixing the distribution would require more than 2 hours of work. I can help too if you have questions on how to do it.
