I'll summarize what I've said before on the turbine-dev list:
My src tree looks like this:
/src
/java
/schema (used by the Torque plugin)
/test
/webapp
/logs
/resources
/templates
/WEB-INF
/conf
/web.xml
If you run the war:webapp goal with this kind of src dir structure it
will generate a complete webapp directory structure under
${maven.build.dir}/${pom.id} for you, including the classes compiled
from src/java, the dependent lib files, and everything that exists under
src/webapp.
The war:war goal generates exactly the same thing but then inside a war
file.
You can point tomcat at ${maven.build.dir}/${pom.id} in its server.xml
file and run your webapp from there.
The only (tiny) problem is that now you have to run war:webapp to deploy
any changes, even for changed templates, images, etc. I use the maven
console so running war:webapp takes about 1 second.
I use maven 1.0 b7.
If anyone is interested I can xdoc this and send it to the list.

Can someone please summarize the current thinking on how Maven should be
used when building a web application?
Thanks.
