I agree, also each of the *.war files have a copy of the .jar files. Would it be acceptable to have a script or ant to gut the WEB-INF/lib directory of war files before distribution then reinsert them by running another script after they are unpacked by the user? The Distro would be less than 4MB if we did that. We could create another ant target that never assembles the war files in the first place, and another 'ant demo-war' command could package the already compiled *.class files of the app into a war.
