What now is the description for Add Rake Targets

Hello,

Now that we have GlassFish V3 TP2, I am not sure how to describe this
checkbox in the Rails New Project wizard:

If Using JRuby:
  [] Add Rake Targets to Support App Server Deployment (.war)

Currently the help says the following. I think that what I need to do is
remove "such as GlassFish" and the description is correct. What do you
think? Do you think the label for the checkbox is still appropriate?

Add Rake Targets to Support App Server Deployment (.war). Choose this
option if you want to create a .war file so you can deploy your
application to an application server, such as Glassfish.

I think that after removing "such as GlassFish" it is still appropriate,
though perhaps it would be good to emphasize that it concerns only Java
application servers, e.g. "...so you can deploy your application to a
Java application server" to make it clear for people not familiar with
Java and the .war format. GF V3 is an exception as you wrote, maybe it
could be specifically mentioned in the description.

As an aside, note that the check box nowadays enables Warbler instead of
GoldSpike. I'll write more about that soon.
