Upload task should enable JAR splitting by default

[bmuschko]

For uploading the WAR file to GAE you might run into a size constraint if your artifact is really big. This is a known issue. Google recommends setting the option --enable_jar_splitting to improve this.

For more information see this posting on the Gaelyk Google Groups.

The changelog says its enabled by default, but i got this message during the deploy:

com.google.appengine.tools.admin.LocalIOException: Jar /tmp/appcfg3942121943129002742.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-user-2.7.0.jar is too large. Consider using --enable_jar_splitting.
Unable to update app: Jar /tmp/appcfg3942121943129002742.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-user-2.7.0.jar is too large. Consider using --enable_jar_splitting.
Please see the logs [/tmp/appcfg6370452515418377347.log] for further information.

the log contains:

The file "gwt-user-2.7.0.jar" is around 31M.
I am unable to deploy at the moment. It would be great to get a hint how to solve this. Thank you very much.

you should not upload this jar. This is only be supposed to be used in development of the app (only at compile time). This will be provided by app engine at run time. Try using "provided" as scope in maven for this jar.
