I think your real question might be, who is putting this stuff in my WEB-INF/classes dir?
It is the resources plugin, as commanded by the war-plugin. therefore, you would add a <build><resources> element to prevent this. Below is a trivial example. /r ========================================== src src/main/resources/META-INF/foo.xml ========================================== target target/foo-1.0.war target/foo/META-INF/foo.xml target/war/work/webapp-cache.xml ========================================== war contents META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF WEB-INF/ META-INF/foo.xml ========================================== pom.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.foo</groupId> <artifactId>foo</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>1.0</version> <build> <resources> <resource> <directory>${project.build.sourceDirectory}</directory> <includes> <include/> </includes> </resource> </resources> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1-beta-1</version> <configuration> <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> <webappDirectory>target/${webapp.name}</webappDirectory> <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/classes/**</packagingExcludes> <webResources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources/META-INF/</directory> <targetPath>META-INF</targetPath> </resource> </webResources> <archive> <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <properties> <webapp.name>foo</webapp.name> </properties> </project> At 5:02 PM -0700 5/19/11, dpaily wrote: >I'm using maven-war-plugin in my pom.
