Hi Ron, We dropped support for building WAR files, as it was something we haven't really supported in a long time. Also running eXist-db inside a Servlet Container as a WAR has its own issues that were holding us back. The recommended way to run eXist-db is as a standalone server. I hope that news isn't too painful? All the best. Adam.
