server .war artefact
Hi all
Is there any reason for producing a .war file among the tar.gz and .zip in
the app/target folder?

Still today many enterprises deploy java components in a web container
preferably.
A poll on the user list could be a good way to determine the actual benefit
of distributing the war, which by the way has never been contained in any
release, afaik.
i'm totally +/-0 on this topic.

I think nowadays producing a war for james is more confusing than just
having a .zip.
I don't see any reason to run it in a war since we don't offer any web
service so far, and normally a webserver is recommended not run without
root permissions so it is difficult to listen to privileged ports.
Could we remove that?

Back in the days it was deemed desirable to embed James in a web container.
We never came around building an EAR or something more advanced.
