I've created a small framework that handles request in an MVC fashion,
in a manner similar to Struts. Now I'd like to package the framework as
a unit to make it as simple as possible to deploy it.

The problem I'm facing is that I do not know how to package the whole
thing into a .war or something similar and still make it possible for
people to build an application around it.

The main part of the framework is a 300K .jar. However, there are
support files, such as a few .js files to handle such things as
automated client side validation that get parsed out from the server
side validation configuration. And there could possibly also be a
standard set of images and .jsp files that are part of the common
framework.

Setting it up just by installing the .jar works fine. But I can't bundle
the rest of the files  togheter in a .war, since it isn't a complete
application, just a framework.

Are there any one--large-drop-in-file-and-go solutions that are best
practices in this area?

I know that it isn't a big problem, but it would be nice to apply the
.jar way of doing things to a greater set of file types that are needed
for web applications.
