If you want to create a  war file you can deploy to a Tomcat instance using the Manager app  create a folder  put all your files in that folder  including an index html file  move your terminal window into that folder  and execute the following command   zip -r  lt AppName gt  war     I ve tested it with Tomcat 8 on the Mac  but it should work anywhere
