If I use that I''ll have to create a jar file for the library every time 
I make changes to it. Instead of the lib element I used a symbolic link 
in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the project pointing to the library's 
jar file. This is the way I always did it.

But now I find it useful to avoid this step by directly including the 
library's class files, which are located under $L/classes. What about this?

If including the class files directly, where in the war file do they belong?

Thanks!
