Scott Kurz updated MWAR-441:
----------------------------
    Description: 
I would like to subject something copied to the WAR root, e.g. a JSP to the 
same "outdated" check for goals like *war:exploded* . 

I don't see a way to do that currently.   An empty String or absent config 
value triggers the default of *WEB-INF/lib/*

I'm not too familiar with mojo File-typed parameters.   Is there a construct or 
pattern that lets you use either a relative or absolute path like you can with 
the *webappDirectory, warSourceDirectory* parameters, but relative to the 
webappDirectory rather than basedir?

E.g. for *warSourceDirectory* I can specify:  *src/main/webapp*  or an absolute 
path.  If I could do something like that for *outdatedCheckPath* today that 
would meet my needs.    But maybe this parameter resolution only works 
conveniently relative to the basedir? 

 

If this parameter must remain a "prefix" or path relative to the 
webappDirectory, maybe it just needs a special syntax like  '.'  or '*' to 
cover everything.

and was wondering why this wasn't created as a File type parameter with a 
default of: *${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/lib*

since then you 

WEB-INF/lib/

 

could be specified as either an absolute path or a path relative to *basedir*, 
like 

If this seems like a decent idea I can try to work on a patch,.
