What's the difference bewtween manifest file kept in META-INF folder of your web application and WEB-INF/your.jar!/META-INF/? > I think I said that though... as for not "convincing", that > assumes that > the way you do things is the right way...

Before anybody will bother to apply your patch or spend its time trying to implement what you want there are two conditions which must be satisfed: a) there must be an agreement between maintainers of given plugin that this patch is a move into right direction b) somebody must feel that it is important enough to dedicate its time to apply such patch. Most of the plugins are improved thanks to feedback and suggestions of maven users. And we do appreciate suggestions and feedback. But sometimes two users have clashing requirements ( I am myself also a user of war plugin and in some cases for some reasons I really need to have classes in WEB-INF/classes folder). If you are not convincing enough you have 0% of chances that such change which your are asking for will be ever made. > I guess I'm surprised that people don't even want the *ability* to > package as a JAR instead of in the classes dir.
