Description

As far as I can tell, if a Web project does not include a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml, GEP will not deploy a WAR to a geronimo server.

GEP will automatically add a geronimo-web.xml, if you import a WAR (if a geronimo server is the target environment). However, if you don't choose a target runtime or choose a non-geronimo runtime, this won't occur.

GEP should always attempt to deploy – regardless of the existence of a deployment plan.

Would also be nice if GEP would provide the ability to add deployment plans to a WAR.

BTW, haven't tested, but I'd guess there may be similar issues with EAR's.
