-------------------------------------------------------------
Is this really fixed? Even using 2.1-beta-1 I still get:
Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode)
Is another parmameter needed to turn off "update mode?" I am creating a partial WAR that will be exploded and merged with an existing WAR directory on a Tomcat "appliance." I don't want to take any chance of overwriting the Web.xml file of the target dir. I want to skip the manifest too, but didn't see any options to do that.

> Key: MWAR-30
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-30
> Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Christoffer Hammarström
> Assignee: Stephane Nicoll
> Fix For: 2.1-alpha-2
>
> Attachments: MWAR-30.patch
>
>
> I have a small webapp with a small number of jsps, to overlay on a larger webapp.
> The larger webapp already has a web.xml and the small one doesn't need one.
> I can't build a war of the small webapp, because the war-plugin requires a web.xml.
> I realise that a war-file without a web.xml might not be considered a comple war-file, and i only need it to unzip on top of the larger webapp.
> Maybe packaging the small webapp in a zip would be better?
