WAR plugin

[sergey-morenets]

Hi

There's a page called "Packaging Java Projects": https://mill-build.org/mill/javalib/packaging.html
I was surprised that there's no mentioning of creating WAR archive. This is still pretty popular especially for Java EE applications.
And I couldn't find any WAR plugin among contribution/third-party plugins: https://mill-build.org/mill/extending/thirdparty-plugins.html

So can you please advise how to create WAR file in Mill ?

AFAIK WAR is a just a JAR with specific structure, so maybe if you already have the correct project structure it might work with just renaming the JAR? If it doesn't I assume it shouldn't be to difficult to just write a small plugin with a trait that just extends this using this API, unfortunately I am not familiar enough with the specifics of WAR to offer more.
