Sorry about that. I didn't realize that my name wasn't allowed. I've renamed it and it's now available here: https://github.com/jsimone/webapp-runner
Thanks for pointing out that feature in the maven plugin. I like that approach a lot and I'm excited to see it released. However it fits a little bit of a different use case. I think that something like webapp-runner is cool because it can be used to run either an archived or exploded war file regardless of what the chosen build system is. This opens it up not only to other build tools, but also to running apps that get generated from frameworks like Grails and Play! or even to war files that are exported from tools like Eclipse. Could be that I'm the only one that finds this useful, though. I'd love to hear feedback and know if anyone else does.
