Eirik Maus commented on MAPPASM-158:
------------------------------------
The idea is that the application can be made as a standards-compliant web
application (war file) that can deployed in any standard application server
(enterprise policy blah, blah..). It can also utilize any standard web
technology and development tool (great advantage: there are lots of them). Yet,
it deploys as easy as any main-method program, because it IS a main-method
program that uses the application server as a library.
thus: jetty is not used for testing, but for production.
This is almost the same as an executable war, but not quite as the war file is
a standard web app and we use a separate module bundles the appserver, a main
method and the war file as a library.
And the bug is this: appassebler correctly downloads all jar file dependencies
to the target/appassembler/repo dir, but newer versions of appassembler
mysteriously omits the war file dependency, even if it is declared the same way
as the other dependencies. I wish that all dependencies (still) were treated
the same way even if they have other maven classifiers and types than jar
files.
I'll look into creating an example in a few days.

> 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.
