Good suggestion, unpacking is still needed - it's due to the java
compiler(s) used
needing the class-files in the file structure (cannot handle anything but
straight files
and ordinary jars) but the "one setting per deployed system" argument is
very valid.
Try the 0.9.1c core (http://www.orionserver.com/orion/orion.jar) and either
add:
<application-server deployment-directory="../application-deployments"> for a
global
setting or:
<application name="theApp" path="../mypath.ear"
deployment-directory="../application-deployments/theApp" />
for a per-app setting.
Let us know how it works out.

(PS. Re the unpacking: We will add automatic repackaging to a later release
(so you wind up with a .ear again
once it's done) to a later release.)
