I still like the sar concept. I notice that emacs can edit files in jars (such as ejb-jar.xml) and save them back into the jar. Anyone know enough elisp to figure out how to make it edit .sar, .ear, .war, etc the same way? (I presume it just means recognizing the file format/extension as zip-like) Then there won't be anything to complain about having to repack for small changes. For large changes you'll be doing an ant build anyway.
