JBoss Seam Hotdeploy Maven Plugin v0.3.2

The latest version supports now also packaging regular WAR files for production deployment:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.ctp.seam.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-hotdeploy-plugin</artifactId>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
        <source>${java.source.version}</source>
        <target>${java.source.version}</target>
        <sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/hot</sourceDirectory>
        <useWarPackaging>true</useWarPackaging>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

You can put this configuration in a dedicated profile to create a hot-deploy free WAR file. The plugin repository now also contains Maven meta data.
