Both <ear> and <war> have a required attribute ("appxml" for
ear and "webxml" for war).
If think this attributes shouldn't be required when you are
making an update, otherwise you are forced to re-specify an
appxml/webxml, even if it is already present in the archive.
My patch makes appxml/webxml required only if update is set
to "false" (which is the default).
If you set update="true", appxml/webxml is not required
anymore.
The patch is non-breaking (i.e. backwards compatibile).
The diff files are against Ant 1.4.
Please let me know if this patch is useful.Thanks.
