The JARs are indeed expanded as a temporary fix for Jasper. There is hope
that we can perhaps use a tweaked version of javac which would load classes
from a classloader (in which case no expanding is needed).

That's what is done right now, except that the deployed (read : expanded)
WAR is undeployed when you shut down Catalina.

It will only remove files if it did actually deploy the corresponding WAR.
