I think you should look at how you specify what you want in the WAR, I think having properties within dependencies that affect the way plugins work is not very good. I would say leave the current way as it is and look for a better solution. Try to determine how you could isolate what you want bundled, or more generally how to specify properties for plugins. I have started cleaning up some of the plugin property access and marked them as requirements for 1.0. You might want to do the same with plugin properties that are defined in the POM. I think the war.bundle thing is fairly bad as it started a bad trend of looking for hints in the dependencies themselves. > I agree that for some users this will be a bit painful, but for those who > are going > to start using maven or for those who are just going to make another webapp > with maven, this change means simplification. > > > > I'm +0 if you want to introduce a war plugin property such as: > > > > maven.war.dependency.behavior=exclude|include > > > > so that the current behavior is the default. > > > Also thought about that. > If still prefer to update my POMs... but certainly this is an option. > > > regards > > Michal > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
