Hi all, Was wondering how you specify compile time dependencies but have those jars excluded from the final build?
I want to have a dependency on the tomcat runtime libraries. I can do this in eclipse by clicking properties --> java build path --> Add Library. Eclipse then stops complaining about being unable to find (eg) javax.servlet.http etc, and when m2eclipse WTP plugin deploys to the server all is well. I do not want these dependencies included in my war because they are already present in my tomcat/lib directory and I have had big troubles when trying to include them because of this. However when i run the compiler:compile goal manually, it now complains about not being able to locate these classes. So I have a situation where I can deploy my app with the WTP plugin, but cant run the maven compile goal, and what i want is to have the jars present at compile time but not present in my war. Im still new to maven - there must be a way to do this. Can anyone help? Thanks Murray.
