Packaging the ear, then checking the file size, and then placing it in the ear would effect the size of the ear. Is there a way to get the ear's size programmatically at run-time? Or perhaps an MBean that woul...
My question is similar to avoiding-re-building-prerequisites-in-ant, except that my need doesn't involve created objects, but processes invoked, so the solutions discussed there won't work for me.
