How to add facets to an IntelliJ Java/Gradle project to create a self-sufficient war

Background

  1. Download and install IntelliJ 12.04 Community Edition
  2. Create project from external source (point to Gradle build script)
  3. Specify JDK 7 as project's SDK

Note: Project is open source at github: Netflix/karyon

Problem

Want to simply war the project. In playing on the commercial version with GAE plugin installed, I was able to specify the Web Application facet, and create the war via the artifact functionality. With the setup described above, the only available facet is Android.

Question

How can I create a self sufficient war (includes all dependencies and hence can be dropped in any container without additional classpath requirements) from within the IDE?

IntelliJ IDEA Community edition doesn't have Java EE support, you need to use some other tool for packaging the war (e.g. Maven).
