can i use the
'dependency:copy-dependencies<http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html>'
goal in this project to tell it to copy all it's
dependencies to the "lib" dir?
like shown in here:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-dependencies</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>/usr/local/app</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots>
<overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
btw: (when you said <classpathPrefix>*lib*</classpathPrefix>,
does this means "projectHome/lib" is the classPath?)
