Description

Currently, the Project#packages method returns all the packages defined for a project. However it would be useful to provide a way to easily narrow returned packages without having the user(mainly ruby newcomers) to use the select ruby idiom

project.packages.select

{ |p| p.type == :war }

It would be nicer to have something like:

project.packages(:type => :war) # actually comparing :war with the type attribute of each package
project.packages(JarTask) # select all Jar kind packages

For more advanced stuff, users may still need to provide a Proc/Method or select the full packages array the ruby way.
