    Xcode builds the framework into single jar files before adding to the
    war file. This is really slick and nice. And keeps the number of open
    files down for a Tomcat process.

    Eclipse/WOLips build.xml file is rolling them up as frameworks.
    Hundreds of files thick.

    Is here a settings to get the single file jars per framework?

    If the functionality is not already included in build.xml, is it
    simple enough to add myself? Is it just a matter of jarring the
    framework resultant directories before they are added to the war file?

    Another side issue: does the LICENSE file need to contain anything
    beside the Apple legal license, like the key? There are not clear
    instructions in the build.xml file.

    In fact, I had to add a parameter to get war builds to work, the
    instructions seem outdated, there is no "never" statement, just some
    "servletDeployment" flags throughout:

                    <property name="servletDeployment" value="true"/>

    Here are the existing instructions:

            <!-- To use this target remove the if="${never}" statement and
    follow the instructions for the ssdd target -->

    And later:

            <!-- ssdd target-->
            <!-- To use this target
                 1) remove the if="${never}" statement
                 2) change embed=true in the woapp target above
                 3) create the LICENSE in your project directory
                 4) add JavaWOJSPServlet in your WOFrameworks build path
                 5) Edit the build.properties file
                 6) set webXML = true
         -->

    Should I just make a patch to the existing project?
