Orion will copy the deployment files in your EAR the first time it deploys
it. Thereafter it will use the files in the deployment directory. It will
never copy a file if it exists in the deployment directory. Therefore you
are free to modify those to customise your deployment.
(The only exception here seems to be web.xml which always gets overwritten
by web.xml from a WAR but this is in Bugzilla and I think has been fixed in
the latest JAR)
