setZipFile(), setJarFile(), setWarFile --> setFile()

Hi,

What does everyone think about using consistent naming on the zip related 
tasks. Currently subclasses add another method that just calls setZipFile().
Wouldn't it be better to have a single method setFile() that is used in all 
subclasses. We could deprecate the old name and give warnings on use and 
recomend new plain file="" attribute ???

Cheers,

Pete
