I am bit busy at the moment but hope to have time to work a bit on war plugin soon (hope to have it done before rc1 is out)
There was a request to support "bundling" of TLD files in war archive. I am going to implement it. I am planning to set default directory for TLDS files accordingly to: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/co de_convention/ so it will be <context root>/WEB-INF/tld/ and have property: maven.war.build.tld.dir which will allow to customize it I personally use following layout: <context root>/WEB-INF/tld/jstl/ <context root>/WEB-INF/tld/struts/ <context root>/WEB-INF/tld/foo/ for grouping certain taglibs. Such layout can be easily supported using groupId property of the dependency. Somebody else likes it? Maybe somebody knows better strategies? Any other types of artifact should be supported? Should we go down to the level of css, JavaScript files or even images (gifs, jpegs). I personally don't think so. I like the concept of "web component" dissussed some time ago. We can also think if we are going to have "extra features" like: appending tag libs dynamically to web.xml file. From the point of view of XML manipulation it is very simple. But then some extra metadata should be provided along with tlds dependency (like uri).
