Once we deploy (via jmx) the exploded site application we can continue 
to update the content there without redeploying. That's a lot faster for 
the development cycle.

maven generate:site deploy:site
work on the xdocs (for instance)
maven generate:site

The postGoal for generate:site simply updates the exploded warfile.

We use the same technique on the actuall application when we're making 
lots of small changes to the jsp files:

maven build-the-app deploy-the-app
work on the jsp's
maven build-the-app
work on the jsp's
maven build-the-app
etc...

Our postGoal for "build-the-app" likewise updates the exploded view. We 
don't have to redeploy just to test out some UI changes.


Note: For preproduction/testing/production deployment we'll create a 
real warfile for the application and hand that to the ops group to 
deploy. The exploded warfiles are to facilitate our development process.
