I’ve been testing a tool that manipulates Java web application archives (WARs) – but it’s a challenge to ensure I’ve got a representative cross-section of real-life WARs to test against.  So far, I’ve been hunting for samples and coding up my own WARs – convolving the Java specifications with common patterns I’ve seen recommended on developer forums. It’s a shame there doesn’t seem to be a repository out there of a broad range of samples for me to deploy to my application server and test the tool against.

Unless anyone’s aware of anything different…?
