webapp-1.0-incubator-M2-SNAPSHOT.jar
webapp-host-1.0-incubator-M2-SNAPSHOT.jar are not present in the standalone launcher (the rest are). In order to avoid the need for ant users to download these jars from a maven repo, I'd like to propose adding them to the binary distro. For example, they could go in a new webapp directory. They are not large and they would not impact use of the binary distro as a standalone Tuscany launcher.
I think the issue here is what is our binary distro in M2, is it just the standalone distro or something more? Some previous discussion have been sounding like the binary distro is just the standalone distro, i'm not convinced thats true or a good idea. The current name is ...-bin not ...-standalone and it already includes the servlet jar and things like SDO. If we don't include the two tuscany webapp jars in the bin distro we release then how do we get them released officially with an ipmc vote? Being pragmatic the easiest way to fix this particular problem probably is to just also include the two tuscany webapp jars as well. And if we're going down that route why not also add the javadoc and prebuilt samples as well so we have a really easy to use binary M2 release :) ...ant PS. Whats going to happen when trying to build bigbank with ant and the DAS jars are required?
