In Selena (and earlier Diana builds) I used to be able to specify an arbitrary file when adding a "deployment descriptor": WEB facet, Web Settings, Deployment Descriptors, Add.. I had to use that to for example to get a signed applet (jar file) to be deployed inside my war. In Selena the file chooser won't let me package that file anymore. I tried to use the "Add.." button on the "Modules and Libraries to Package", but that won't let me choose files either. I think "Modules and Libraries to Package" should really be "Modules, Libraries and Files to Package and the "Add.." button should have an option "Add file..:" Next I'll try to setup a library only to be able to deploy it, but even if that would work, that would be a very strange way to configure it (create a library only to deploy a file?).
