-----------------------------------------------------

why not make the war:exploded goal binded with prepare-package phase?

Edit : 2009-03-25
With maven 2.1 we've got a workaround

<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.0</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>Prepare WAR</id>
						<phase>prepare-package</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>exploded</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<configuration>
					<warSourceDirectory>src/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>

                      <plugin>
                          <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                           ... do everything you want, precompile, change jsp, ...
                     </plugin>

> It would be nice to have a separate goal that zips the WAR file. This way it will be possible to write (and use) plugins that manipulates the WAR folder before the WAR file is built (like applying patches, reorganizing site structure and similar stuff).
> Also, there are some plugins (like the cocoon deploy plugin) that actually extend the war plugin to operate "in the middle". This could be avoided (IIUC) adding these separate goal in the WAR plugin.
> It should be quite trivial to do, I volunteer for trying.
