Web Application Developers who use Java IDEs like Eclipse may desire a less complex package of the OCW framework.

Currently our build environment produces a Maven dependent environment which requires the web developer the to do a fair amount of manual post Maven install work to gather the necessary files needed for use in a Java IDE.

It may be optimal for us to update our build process with a script that will do the following after we do the Maven build:
1. create a toolkit destination folder, like \devtkpkg
2. create the following subfolders in the developers toolkit package: \ jar, \js, \debug\src.jar
3. copy all necessary coweb jar files from the completed Maven build to \devtkpkg\jar
4. copy all required js libraries to \devtkpkg\js
5, copy a jar file of all our js source files for use during debugging to \devtkpkg\debug\src.jar
6. zip up everything under \devtkpkg
7. publish this new zip as a build artifact on Git

The contents of this new package can now be used by a Java Developer in tools like Eclipse to quickly and simply add the resources associated with OpenCoweb development to a Eclipse project.
