Hi Andrea,

in the meantime I´ve read a bit about maven and have been looking at the
pom.xml for the webapp. I decided to try to customize the build-process a
bit as follows:
- I have added a new target to the geoserver-config-maven-plugin
(config.build.xml) named "copyWebXml"
- it copies the web.xml to the webapp-source-directory if the
webXmlDir-parameter is provided when triggering the maven-install-goal
- I´ve added the metadata for the new target in config.mojos.xml (including
the required params)

Now I can run the build-process for the webapp like this "mvn
-DwebXmlDir="/myDir" clean install. The web.xml from "/myDir" is copied into
the source-folder for the webapp-creation and therefore included into the
war-file.

Do you think it would make sense to generally include this into the
geoserver-source? I guess I´m not the only one in need of something like
this. I could share the necessary code (though I guess each of you
geoserver-cracks could do the same within minutes ;-) ).

Best regards
Max Stephan
