2 ways' to make an .war(or .ear) file

(1) u can use the ant tool to build the .war(or .ear)
file 

in build.xml file to create .ear file from existing
.jar file

<target name="ear_app" depends="jar_ejb">
<ear earfile="${APPLICATIONS}/application.ear">
<fileset dir="${dist}" includes="application.jar"/>
</ear>
</target>

about the .war file

  <target name="all" depends="compile">

    <war warfile="${application.war}"
webxml="web.xml">
      <fileset dir="web"/>
      <webinf dir="etc"/>
      <lib dir="lib"/>
      <classes dir="class"/>
      <classes dir="resource"/>
    </war>
  </target>
