The problem is the generated sources are created during compilation within the module. The WAR module already has a dependency for that module, but some of the generated sources are not part of the normal maven build. So, what happens is the target of the WAR only contains the packaged dependency, not the generated file(s) that exist in the other modules target (thus the hack to copy them). Unfortunately, I cannot change the packaging of the other module to WAR to do an overlay :/

Why not do it the Maven way and create a module with the generated sources and make the other (2?) modules dependant of it? This would eliminate the need of a hack that copy files from one module to another. /Thomas On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 15:49, Will Hoover <java.whoo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a multi-module project where one of the modules needs to copy > internally generated file(s) that do not come from any maven-aware resources > from a module to a WAR module for inclusion.
