Adding WAR handling to Assembler

[Eric Dalquist]

I'm looking at using the Pluto assembler to deploy portlet webapps for uPortal 3. Our current deployer deals with WARs by extracting them to a temp directory, modifying the web.xml and re-packing them before copying them into tomcat.

I'd like to provide a patch to the Pluto assembler code to move the web.xml re-writing logic into a utility class and add a WarAssembler in addition to the FileAssembler. The WarAssembler would extract a WAR, re-write the web.xml and repack the WAR to a new location. There wouldn't be any logic specific to tomcat or any other container. I've created a Jira issue for the enhancement as well: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-314

All feedback is welcome,
-Eric
