There's a new "assets" task such that "assets in Assets" will provide the "resourceManaged in Assets" folder nicely populated. Similarly "assets in TestAssets" will provide the contents of resourceManaged both in the Assets and the TestAssets scope i.e. all of the module's assets are present in the target/public-test folder. The copying will be efficient given the use of sbt's Sync functionality.

In addition WebJars are now automatically extracted into the target/public and target/public-test folders.
