Now things are starting to get really weird. I've spent my evening 
repeating the build steps on our Ubuntu Linux web server, using Martin's 
build script verbatim. Guess what: the generated .war file behaves 
identical when it comes to serving exist.jnlp (the file is empty). Both 
on the Ubuntu Linux Tomcat and my Windows 7 one. It made me desperate 
enough to repeat the build exercise on an older Windows Vista computer: 
same result. I've uploaded the Ubuntu-generated war file at 
<http://ctb.kantl.be/temp/exist-1.5.0dev-rev15744.war>. How can a 
completely fresh eXist checkout with exactly the same build script 
produce different builds, that -on my side- fail to work on no matter 
what configuration I build/use them?

I'm getting really curious if other (Windows?) users at all are 
experiencing the same behaviour.

Kind regards,

Ron
