Hi RAP Team,
I would like know what is the state of WAR Product? Is it still again active? Since February there is none new distribution (none offense with that, I suppose you are very busy). WAR Product is a great tool but I think it should be improved again.
In my case, I have several problem (cycle, optionnal dependencies) when I try to build WAR with Spring DM and Spring Data JPA RAP Application (see http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/356475/) and I tell me if I must create my own WAR product (already done to fix problem with cycle) but I would like avoid forking WAR Product.
Could you tell me if WAR Product will be improved soon?
I told you that because I have the intention to explain how to create WAR with the RAP Apllication explained in my article http://angelozerr.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/eclipse_spring_step10/.
But the current WAR Product fails (cycle+optionnal dependencies problem).
Many thanks for your help.
Regards Angelo

Hi,
I'm also a bit surprised, that the WAR build is handled rather "stepmotherly" by RAP. I mean, at the end of the day, probably most people deploy their applications as WAR files, especially in an enterprise environment?! To my mind, it is such an essential, that I'm surprised that RAP does not provide a nicely integrated mechanism for that. Why is it necessary to go down the path with Tycho or adapt example projects? The WAR product tooling is probably the most integrated approach. Unfortunately, development is rather "low priority", as you phrased it, so there are some missing features or even showstoppers.
Of course, there is no problem to use other default build chains, a developer should be able to master that! But from own experience, when starting with rap 5 years ago, the way to get a deployable WAR was long and can be quite a hurdle until everything runs smooth ;).
But I'm confident that we'll see some improvement in the future that makes the brilliant RAP framework even more user friendly ;).
Cheers,
Ben
