Creating a war file that includes an applet

[Mark McBride]

Our project requires that we have an applet in our web application. 
Following the best practices of maven we decided to place the applet code 
in a separate cvs module since it is a separate artifact from the war we 
build in the main project.

My question is how does one include the applet into the main project in a 
public accessible area of the web application. If I declare it in the 
project.xml when I run "maven war" it will only be loaded in the lib 
directory which won't be accessible from the web page that I want to embed 
the applet in. I'm thinking I might need to write a goal to copy the applet 
jar from the maven local repository at build time???

Any suggestions or pointers are very appreciated!
