Description Petr Jiricka 2008-07-23 12:44:26 UTC

1. Create a web project
2. Go to its Properties/Packaging
=> The WAR File field is read only; it should be possible to change the file name

This was disabled on Sun Nov 28 21:23:03 2004 by pbuzek with following comment: "Do not allow changing war file name; if
changed it breaks interproject dependencies. If it were a requirement we need to fix interproject depenendcies first."

Do we really want to allow this?

Steps from description works just fine (after step two I can change war file name). Not sure when it was fixed and by whom, but I think the issue is resolved --> Closing as WORKSFORME
