Well after some extensive experimentation with creating a custom lifecycle, it appears as though using war:explode in components.xml with <packaging>war</packaging> in the POM may not be possible.
When I use <packaging>exploded</packaging>, it works ok. But I don't think this is feasible to use for a WAR project and not sure how to do this for a EAR project (which contains one or more WARs).
