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

why don't you call war:exploded?

It does exactly that right?

> My project uses jetty to run the web-application we package with Maven. Jetty uses the exploded version of the war, and the war file itself is not needed (not until we deploy on a Weblogic server, which will be done in system test and prod). But the developers does not need the war file. The war file itself is quite large (~70 Mb) and the packaging of the file takes quite a bit of time. This is unnecessary. So I made a small fix in the plug-in to solve this problem. I added a new parameter "packageWar" witth getters and setters in AbstractWarMojo, and did some refactoring in the WarMojo so that the packaging is only done if this parameter is set to true.
> I have added the code with the issue. Some tests fail with this new fix as they expect the war to be created. I have not altered any tests or added any tests. Just attaching the code and hope you guys think this is a good idea that should be included in some future release. The fix saves approx 30 seconds up to a minute in our projects build cycle.
