Description Mariano Eloy Fernández Osca CLA 2006-05-11 03:03:51 EDT
Making File->Export->Web Application Components->WAR file asks for Web Module and Destination file.
It would be nice an option to save a descriptor file for this WAR, so not to go all the road again to make this same (updated) WAR. Simply right-click in the descriptor file and select Create WAR, just like the JAR export does.

This would be nice, but is so low on the list of priorities that we are not going to get to it.  Please reopen when we are ready to contribute a patch.
