[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1274?page=all ]
John Casey updated MNG-1274: ---------------------------- Description: Trying to use the assembly plugin to repackage a war, I got the exception below. The functionality was needed to implemented multi-webstart application deployment in relation to the Webstart Plugin [1] It fails miserably because of the missing webxml attribute required by the WebArchiver, triggered because the specified format is war. I was told on #maven that the assembly is not meant to package war. I don't see why it couldn't :) So I mailed on @users [2]. Someone also asked for similar funcionality [3]. So repackaging a war is clearly an required functionality. Should we consider the assembly plugin one way to implement this feature, and this is issue is indeed real? Or should I take another approach, like move the assembly plugin execution as part of an earlier phase (e.g. process-resources) inside the war project ?
