Eirik Maus commented on MAPPASM-158:
------------------------------------
It's not a bug, but a weird idea that turned out to work better than expected.
Appassembler (and assembly-plugin) makes it really easy to make stand-alone
applications in archives that can be downloaded, unzipped and run anywhere with
only a few commands (3, to be exact). This can be done, even if the application
expose its user interface through http. All you need is to bundle some
http-library stuff and some web-library stuff that can provide user interaction
help. This is similar to using swing libraries to expose a swing user interface
(okay, they are bundled in the jdk now, but initially they weren't). The main
method starts jetty (5 - 10 lines of code), locates the war file in the
classpath (10 lines of code) and tells jetty to load the war file. voila! Just
as easy as opening a main JWindow.

> Key: MAPPASM-158
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAPPASM-158
> Project: Mojo AppAssembler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Environment: linux and windows, jdks 6 and 7. maven 3.
> Reporter: Eirik Maus
>
> Tried to update maven and plugins on and old project that uses appassembler
> and assembly-plugin to create a bundle containing jetty.jar some other stuff
> and a war-file with the web-app I want to run through jetty. I cannot make
> any other version of appassembler than 1.0-alpha-2 include the war file in
> the assembly, even if it is declared with scope 'runtime'.
> It seems like after 1.0-alpha-2, only jar files are included. If this is a
> deliberate feature, I want a switch to allow the inclusion of the war file
> again.
> In order to reproduce:
> # create a multi-module maven project.
> # create a war module inside that project.
> # create a "normal" module inside that project that uses appassembler and has
> dependency to the war module with dependency type:'war' and scope:'runtime'
> (and also some other jar dependencies).
> # run 'mvn clean install' on the whole thing and note that the war file is
> not present under the target/appassembler directory unless the appassembler
> version is set to 1.0-alpha-2.
