Packaging the webapp is not working properly after r427581 this morning.

When I switched from the distribution to the selenium-core jar in the Maven repo, I didn't synchronize the location where it gets unpacked with the location where the antrun plugin expects to find the files to copy.

After the patch, 'mvn package -Pselenium' works again.

 Wendy, is this still an issue? If so, feel free to apply the patch ... it was not obvious to me which of the poms was supposed to be updated.

Resolving as the Selenium test for the mailreader app is working for me, and the infrastructure is in place to add Selenium tests to any of the other apps. (Just add files in src/test/selenium and package with the 'selenium' profile activated: -P selenium .)
