I am trying to package a grails war inside a JEE ear. I have noticed that when I call grails war all the jars defined in the default dependencies are picked up and put into the WEB-INF/lib. But when I run the grails ant task to war the application, it picks up only the jars in the plugin folders. I am using Grails 1.1.1. It seems to me that the grails war uses the script from the scripts directory in the grails distribution but the ant task uses the compiled scripts. Is there a difference in the way they behave?
