What do you mean by source ? Only the java files or the full tree,
including build, conf, etc ?

Well, it shows how to package a scaffold application and how to unit
test one which is not that bad after all ... :-)

Hey, I'm not saying I'm right here ... ;-). I'm trying to understand
the motivation behind packaging scaffold as a war ...
I find it troubling to deliver a library as a WAR when what we want to
deliver is actually a jar. However, it is also very important to always
deliver a sample application for any library, which shows how to use it
and a war fits nicely for this.
