Maven project setup (or plugin) for starting a Java Web Start application

[Billy Bacon <bi...@gmail.com>]

I'm looking to use Maven 2 to manage a Java Web Start application. Would I
just package the entire contents within a .war file with the .jnlp file in
the root directory for download and the jars the JNLP file reference in
WEB-INF/lib? The jar files need to be 'downloaded' to the user requesting
the .jnlp file of course.
I was wondering if anyone has tried to use Maven to do this. Looking for
best practices, do's/don't's and any reference anyone can point me to.
Thanks a ton!
