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?
