  <p>Using eclipse + tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>When I export a tomcat war file for my project, the war file contains all the .svn directories.
  This is doubling the size of the war file and making deployments much longer than they need to be.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to either mask these directories from the export mechanism (like a tar --exclude-from) or remove them from the war (tar --delete) ?</p>
