jetty:run plugin should check for the web.xml from the overlays if not found in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/

jetty:run plugin should check for the web.xml from the overlays if not found in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/

From a comment in JETTY-241

David,

I'm using Jetty 7.0.0.pre5 and try to setup an overlay between 2 war maven projects. The project A has the web.xml file. Project B does not. Project B has a Project's A dependency in its pom file. When I try to run project B with jetty:run the overlay works but I'm getting:

[ERROR]

The following mojo encountered an error while executing:
Group-Id: org.mortbay.jetty
Artifact-Id: jetty-maven-plugin
Version: 7.0.0.pre5
Mojo: run
brought in via: Direct invocation

While building project:
Group-Id: com.test1
Artifact-Id: TestC
Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
From file: /Users/mpk35/workspace/ProjectB/pom.xml
Reason: web.xml does not exist at location /Users/mpk35/workspace/ProjectB/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

I'm wondering if there is anything which could be done to fix it. I would like to avoid coping the web.xml to Project B
thanks!
