Andrius Karpavicius commented on MNG-748:
-----------------------------------------
During War packaging phase compiled classes are placed in WEB-INF/classes
directory. I want them to be jar'ed and placed in WEB-INF/lib as a single JAR.
Therefore before war package, I jar "classes" directory and place file in
WEB-INF/lib.
By default JAR plugin packages "classes" directory and places jar in a "target"
directory (${project.build.directory}) , where as I need it to be
"WEB-INF/lib", therefore in my plugin configuration I overwride a <basedir>
parameter.
I correct myself, maven-jar-plugin <outputDirectory> can be the way it is for
this case, however if looking from a perspective to be able to use plugin to
jar anything from anywhere to anywhere, all properties should be edit enabled.
Here is a section on my pom.xml
<!-- Jar plugin configuration to jar class files and place into
/WEB-INF/lib directory.
Should run before the packaging phase, therefore phase is set to
"test"
This required a modification in maven-jar-plugin/plugin.xml file to
edit enable "basedir" properties
-->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<basedir>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/lib</basedir>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Another change was to be able to overwrite a "classesDirectory" for war plugin.
I wanted to point to something non existing, so it would not package classes
directory if I already packaged them to a JAR (issue above).
But turns out that if a not existing directory is specified, a default value is
taken, and classes directory is packed anyway. Here I made a temporary quick
solution by commenting in WarMojo.java section of code.
Anyway, if loking from a bigger picture, a need is to have a Jar within War,
instead of loose classes.
