I tried "maven war:webapp".  But it pretty much took the same amount of 
time, around 5 minutes.  Most of the time, looks like, goes toward 
building the uber jar (what is the function of this?).  Question is, do 
we need the uber JAR for a expanded webapp scenario, since this is, I 
guess, for a fast edit/build/test cycle?  Also, when building the uber 
jar, the temp directory is deleted which forces the expansion of all the 
JARs from scratch everytime, even though none have changed.  Maybe we 
can remove the delete step, with the gotch'a being you have to delete 
manually if you delete some dependency JARs, or you deleted something in 
your app? I am not too sure of all the Maven options, maybe I am 
overlooking something obvious.
