Thanks Thiago, I didn't know that servlet 3.0 supports META-INF. That will
help a lot, actually.
As far as the IDE issues, I was just trying to be too smart for my own good:
I tried to do the following to separate the source from resources types in the
IDE:
<resources>
<resource>
<targetPath>META-INF/assets/flowlogix</targetPath>
<directory>src/main/assets</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<targetPath>META-INF/modules/flowlogix</targetPath>
<directory>src/main/modules</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/tml</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
and this didn't work very well. Sometimes the assets / modules directories
appear in the project tree, and sometimes they don't.
I think there is a bug in NetBeans somewhere that it doesn't like META-INF in
there
NetBeans operates on maven projects natively, and doesn't need a separate
project files or setup.
