problem?

Just tried using the <war> task in 1.2rc1.

I manage to build the entire war file but the web.xml file is in a lower 
case web-inf directory.
The manifest file is in a lower case meta-inf directory. (both viewed by 
winzip - I haven't tried unpacking it yet)

Biased or not, you seem to be correct. It unpacks ok with tomcat on linux 
and even winzip unpacks it as expected.

reading the source, this is plain impossible (OK, I've written part of
it, so I'm biased 8-), WinZIP must be wrong.

Even if the directories were in lower case, this shouldn't cause real
problems as tools are required to accept META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in any
case, same for web.xml.
