This is OSS after all. As we go along there should be a wiki page describing exactly how
this works for a given release. I'm just doubtful about persisting it in this file.
People come to count on reading the file and you can't lightly stop writing it even if
it becomes a problem.

and realized that it might have to play a role here too. Users might have to know the
(consistent) location where the deployments will be extracted so that they can setup
appropriate permissions.
A very good point. This should become a separate forum thread, as it affects all
deployments (domain deployments) as well. We may need to somehow add this info to the
domain.
I think that as long as we use a predictable code source URL for deployments
it doesn't have to be a specific filesystem location (especially if it varies between
expanded and non-expanded deployments). Maybe in this case, the resource loader should
use a VFS URL or even a special deployment URL type (e.g.
"deployment:///foo.war").
