If you pack/unpack the *.war with the "jar" command, the packing has the effect 
of overwriting
the file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the packed archive.
 In the original xwiki.war this file contains critical information about where 
the DW should look
for the XWiki version. If this file gets replaced by a standard placeholder 
one, the DW will not start.
 At least that is what has bitten us around here when we tried to get a custom 
packaged
XWiki running. Maybe this is useful unformation to understand why it does not 
work in your case,
either.
