Ability to merge other war files as dependencies
------------------------------------------------
Key: MPWAR-41
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPWAR-41
Project: maven-war-plugin
Type: New Feature
Versions: 1.6
Reporter: Gr�gory Joseph
Attachments: maven-war-includewar.patch
In a project I'm working on, we need to be able to separate parts of our web
applications, to be able to build different versions, with or without certain
features.
Since some of these "parts" use jsp's, have specific dependencies, etc... we
can't just build them as jars.
I've made the attached patch in order to be able to specify a dependency of
type war and have it included in my "master" war.
Note that for this to work, the dependent war should not have a web.xml, for
instance. As it is, it simply unwar's the dependency in the main build
directory. It might be desired to actually run this *before* copying the
resources from the master project, so that at least they don't get overwritten
by the dependencies'.
Currently, the META-INF content and the web.xml are excluded from the unwar
task, maybe more excludes should be added?
