It's much more convenient than the alternative: having ot generate both
sets of XML before you can deploy at all. As it is, you can manually
generate the stuff you want, and Orion will... oh wait, looks like you're
not aware of that fully, read on!

Here's what I do: deploy with just the J2EE files, then copy the
orion-generated files to my base directory (i.e., orion-web.xml into
WEB-INF, etc.) and edit that file. Then I wipe out the deployment that
orion made, and redeploy; Orion copies the orion-*.xml files in place and
uses them.
