Description

As the title says, it doesn't seem possible to generate war packages for normal Javaweb projects in vscode at the moment.

There are methods in both eclipse and ide to generate war packages for common javaweb projects.

Vacode should also have such a way, otherwise the project has to be converted into a maven project before the war package can be built.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how the extension handles non-Maven Java web projects and how build or packaging commands are registered. Done should mean a normal Java web project can generate a WAR package in VS Code without first being converted to Maven.
