Description Ian Trimble CLA 2011-04-19 20:03:58 EDT 
In a Servlet (web) 3.0 dynamic web app with no deployment descriptor (web.xml), right-clicking the "Deployment Descriptor" node in the Project Explorer and selecting "Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub" results in a web.xml file with the following namespace in the document element: xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd".

Why is the "web" namespace specified at all? It is unused.
