Sorry for the confusion Was: howto: request committer status

[Brill Pappin <br...@stabilia.com>]

No, sorry Brett for the confusion, there is no patch and I wasn't trying 
to "get anything through" at least not yet... it was nothing you did. 
The thread is born out of pure frustration on my part for trying to not 
have the RFE dismissed out of hand because someone can't be bothered to 
RTFM.

What I was asking for was a simple property switch so that when a war 
was built, I could have the project classes bundled into a jar and added 
to the WEB-INF/lib dir instead of unpacked in the WEB-INF/classes dir.

I'm doing this because I'm using the package versioning spec, see:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/versioning/index.html

Now, this thread has grown because I keep getting some kind of garbage 
about war files and the servlet spec, witch has nothing to do with what 
I'm talking about and from my perspective the antagonist in question 
can't be bother to understand how 1) a servlet container works. 2) how 
the package versioning spec. works.

Now, I appear to not be eloquent enough for some people around here. 
Maybe this can all be put to rest if someone can explain the difference 
between a war and a jar and that the servlet spec and the versioning 
spec. have little to do with one another.

Am I talking out my rear here or does anyone at all understand what I'm 
talking about?

Brill, since the war plugin already compiles java code (indirectly by
running the tests), it would seem a reasonable alternative to either
allow the compiled code to be placed in WEB-INF/classes (as it is at
the moment), or jar'ed up and placed in WEB-INF/lib as if it was an
ordinary jar.
