Building the war without anything inside is actually the default behavior,
if you checkout
the sources and build you will get the .war with the empty data dir inside
in web/app/target

Doing that for the release would make things a bit more complicated though,
and would
increase the amount of data we have to upload.
Unless we decide to ship the .war empty-

Writing a self contained java tool that strips the data dir from a war would
not be hard, either.

java -jar mingeos.jar geoserver.war

Could be enhanced to allow the embedding of a random data dir, too...
thought I guess
we'd be fostering bad practice like that, the embedded data dir in the .war
should
never be used in production, it's not safe (a redeploy from .war and wham,
your
data dir is gone).

Cheers
Andrea

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
