Eclipse war builder

Just thought I'd send a little back to the community. I coded a simple eclipse builder plugin that helps speed up webapp development when using the war plugin. I'm sure there's something out there that does this already, but this works pretty well. If you edit and save a file in either the

Re: filtering web.xml

Re: Exploded WAR in exploded EAR

For our build, I hacked the ear plugin. I added an 'explodedUri' attribute to the web artifact configuration. When the application.xml file is built, it sets the web component to the exploded url on the file system. The down side is that you have to have a relative reference to your web xml

Building jar only if newer
