Oops! No, it was supposed to be in there, but i had a problem in the
building process. It's fixed now. I changed the way the war file was
built, so please let me know if you have any problems or if it appears
that anything else is missing. Thanks for letting me know.

Very nice! I have been considering making a version of the model
solar system that works in 2 dimensions and displays the actual
distances and locations of the planets for any given date. When people
build model solar systems, they're usually in a straight line, which
helps to underestimate true distances in our solar system!
