RE: forced update with war target

[Bohica0682 <da...@hotmail.com>]

I've had the same problem.  I think I found a solution that will work until
they fix it in version 1.8 as described in the bug... can't remeber the
number.  Anyway.  
Basically, I am copying all of the files that I will be updating the jar/war
file with into a tmp directory, then update the jar/war from that instead of
the main directory.  That way all of the files being copied into the jar/war
are newer than the ones in the jar/war.  Then I use the delete command to
remove the tmp directory and VOILA!!! Works beautifully.    B-)

Enjoy,
Bohica
