Got it. A release would be great. Especially considering we need that fix
you made to 1.4.1 to allow the hard-deploy goal to support multiple file
names. [1]

Expect an uptake since we are putting it into the Weld examples, Weld

Ah, we are not using it for testing, but rather for commandline deployment.
It's important that users only have to type one command to try out the
examples (and we would rather not use Ant for that). We explain the setup in
the readme.txt for the booking example we are demoing at JBW.
