Thanks. I posted a comment in the JIRA, hopefully that will go to the dev list.

This is certainly not a "bug." The plugin simply does not have the
functionality that you desire.

This is a feature request that should be filed in JIRA against the
maven-war-plugin:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR

Actually, now that I've searched, this has already been filed:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-30

Hi,

I have seeing a maven error when building a war file and web.xml is not
there in the project for a purpose to test we support optional web.xml
in geronimo.

[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE

[INFO] The specified web.xml file
'E:\geronimolatest2\testsuite\webservices-test
suite\jaxws-tests\jaxws-war2\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml' does not exist
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch

Seems inside maven there is a checking to check if web.xml exists... if
not, stop the build war immediately.

I am using maven 2.0.5.  Would this be considered a bug in maven?  As
with Java EE 5, web.xml can be optional.   Can someone shed some light
on this?

Please reply to both the list and my email address, thx!
