[MOBY-dev] MobyServlet.war should not be there

[Paul Gordon]

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Unfortunately you cannot create it with Ant.  It includes a few files 
not yet in the repository, and anyway would absolutely require the user 
to have a "virgin" JRE (i.e. with no extra libraries installed, 
otherwise I can't guarantee the WAR is self-contained).  I can, however, 
repoint the docs to my own Web site to download it.  I will do this today. 

It would be nice to have somewhere in CVS where large binaries can be 
plopped for the public to download...should we create one at the top 
level of moby-live somewhere?
