The second option is less workable since I have no control over artifacts I already have from my build system.
Triggers sounds like a good idea. With it maybe I can launch an ant-target in the user's Eclipse workspace that unzips the war and adds it to the Eclipse project's .classpath file. With that, I guess I can get the project to compile using Eclipse menu options. thanks a lot...
