HI there, unlike what one might take from this conversation, IMO the *Maven overlay still seems to be pretty viable solution *for those who don't want to bother with Gradle complexity, with support in their favorite IDE like Eclipse, or for those who just don't have time to learn Gradle. I've just tested with the latest CAS 6.3.3 version and my CAS project still builds just fine. Here is an example pom.xml that may help you with getting started:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd "> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.mycompany.cas</groupId> <artifactId>cas-webapp</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <properties> <cas.version>6.3.3</cas.version> <java.version>11</java.version> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId> <artifactId>cas-server-support-bom</artifactId> <version>${cas.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId> <artifactId>cas-server-webapp</artifactId> <version>${cas.version}</version> <type>war</type> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <!-- ===== CAS modules ===== --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId> <artifactId>cas-server-support-ldap</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <warName>cas</warName> <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> <overlays> <overlay> <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId> <artifactId>cas-server-webapp</artifactId> <excludes> </excludes> </overlay> </overlays> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> <finalName>cas</finalName> </build> </project> Feel free to correct me, maybe I missed something.
