Should I commit WEB-INF into version control, or rather construct it with ant?

version-control

ant "war" task does just that - creates WEB-INF along with META-INF, depending on task attributes.

what is considered a best practice? keeping all my libs elsewhere for re-use, like log4j and then build them with "war" task or have everything (including jars) checked-in under WEB-INF? I have multiple apps that could re-use same libs, images, htmls, etc. Our developers use RAD7/Eclipse.

I'd appreciate any examples with opensource Java Web Apps repo layouts.

thanks!
