Joe,

If your code is stable, then a one-time step to JAR it up is hardly a 
heartache.

Personally, I do not believe that JAR files speed the JIT or class loading 
process all that much, especially for web applications where you have a 
lot of small loosley related classes.  It certainly helps for things like 
JT400 or Struts where a large chunk of related code can all get loaded at 
once.  But I think for some general servlet code the difference is likely 
negligible.  The problem with WebFacing is the sheer volume of classes and 
JSP's that have to be loaded.

This was what I was starting to believe, although I was sure it was just 
me.
That's too bad.  There should be an option to deploy as a JAR - you should
be able to define a JAR file as "internal" to the project and then simply 
be
able to add packages and/or classes to it.  It should not require an extra
project to deploty a JAR file.

If a large part of my code is stable, it makes sense to JAR it up; every
text on JIT compilers says that the more things are JAR'd the better the
optimization decisions the compiler can make.  This JAR file can still be
local to my project.

Joe
