release have been updated.  The .war file is now deleted after the build
mines it for the goodies.  If we use Tomcat or another app server down the

There is a ${my.app}.jnlp file inside it, too, but that file
uses macros like $$name and $$codebase, which are only
appropriate to Tomcat-type environments.
Thus, we'll run 'jar xf ${my.app}-web-start.war

its MIME types configured correctly so that the .jnlp file is
served as an application/jnlp or the like, not text/xml.)

wishes to cut a JWS release to install vamp.jar, when we
could use the built-in SignJar task instead. BUT, this
method means that we're ready for a J2EE application server
framework.
If you change web servers or the location on the web server
