I can't remember exactly what it was but there was some issue i had before
when i tried to change the packaging of the web-app module to war from jar.
I can't remember what exactly it was. I also believe that change affects
downstream projects as well that depend on the web-app. MOstly for pulling
it its transitive dependencies.
Somewhat related is something i played around with before in this thread.

Which instead of running from maven running from eclipse like most folks do
with jetty.
