I'm deploying wars, yes. 

Currently I;m only playing but eventually I'll want to deploy wars and for offline java processes some independent jars as well. 

I was thinking of RPM-ing the wars and installing them with the pkg or some other command but I haven't decided yet, still learning.

The tomcat manager API is nice but is a no-go for me. The applications I'm deploying are too crappy to withstand a hot-deploy so I need to take tomcat down, copy wars and restart.

Are you deploying a war file to Tomcat or an application server?  If you're using Tomcat, you may want to try using the Tomcat Manager API wrapper. I've successfully implemented it an it makes deploying war files very elegant.

Shef is also a really good tool for debugging interactively instead of
just getting debug messages at runtime.
