      public class War
      extends Jar

  An extension of <jar> to create a WAR archive. Contains special treatment for files that should end up in the `WEB-INF/lib`, `WEB-INF/classes` or `WEB-INF` directories of the Web Application Archive.

  (The War task is a shortcut for specifying the particular layout of a WAR file. The same thing can be accomplished by using the prefix and fullpath attributes of zipfilesets in a Zip or Jar task.)

  The extended zipfileset element from the zip task (with attributes prefix, fullpath, and src) is available in the War task.

  Since:
    Ant 1.2
