> Currently the MavenImporter on war files requires "mvn package" to be run every time (not only the first time), to update the exploded directory at "target/{finalName}".
> This means if you change something in your code and want to (re)run a test,
> and forget to run "mvn package" first, you're running the old code (and the results are not representative of the changed code).
> Karel and Geoffrey discussed this at JUDCon London.
> The following things can be probably presumed:
> - The IDE compiles all classes from src/main/java to target/classes.
> - The IDE copies all non-filtered resources from src/main/resources to target/classes.
> - That target/classes is copied into the war at WEB-INF/classes.
> - Most src/main/webapp dirs are copied unaltered into the root of the war. (*)
> - "mvn compile" is run once after any "mvn clean": in other words, all src/main/filtered-resources are in target/classes
> So MavenImporter doesn't have to require "mvn package" to build the exploded dir first (which it then zips, enriches and sends to arquillian).
> Instead, it can construct the war zip directly from target/classes and src/main/webapp.
> That is at least one less copy and more importantly, to run the test from the IDE without having to build first.
> Note: all examples above used the explicit directory locations, but in reality the pom.xml's <build> section should be used to determinate the directory locations for a certain project.
