> Key: MWAR-262
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-262
> Project: Maven WAR Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1
> Reporter: Fred Bricon
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> Since JavaEE 5, the web.xml deployment descriptor is optional. In this case
> <failOnMissingWebXml> should default to false.
> How do we do detect that?
> - introduce a new <version> or <servletVersion> attribute to the
> configuration, similar to the <version> in maven-ear-plugin and
> maven-ejb-plugin
> - check if the project's classpath contains classes fom JavaEE > 5
