I'd have to agree with you on the proliferation of extensions for the same
file format. So far we have zip, jar, ear, and war. How many do we really
need. I can see the distinction between zip and jar, the jar extension
indicates that the program should look for the special contents. But the
ear and war files should just be additional manifest entries IMHO.
