Hi,
I have declared an optional dependency, but it is not being overlaid with
maven-war-plugin v 2.0
//parent-of-everything/pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<overlays>
<overlay>
<artifactId>to-be-overlaid</artifactId>
<includes>
<include>**</include>
</includes>
</overlay>
<overlay>
<!-- default self overlay -->
</overlay>
</overlays>
</configuration>
</plugin>
//some-webapp-war/pom.xml
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<artifactId>to-be-overlaid</artifactId>
<optional>true</optional>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
When optional is set to false, then
[INFO] Assembling webapp some-webapp-war in /target/some-webapp-war
[INFO] Expanding: /.m2/repository/to-be-overlaid.war into /target/to-be-overlaid
[INFO] Overlaying 1 war(s).
When optional is set to true, then no such overlaying happens.
However, according to optional dependencies, if some-webapp-war optionally
depends on to-be-overlaid, well it should show up in this first level
dependency, just like normal. What is going on here? And how can I best
overlay a war to certain other wars while leaving them out of most wars using
parent-of-everything (I am currently using a property in the skip parameter in
maven-war-plugin)?
Thank you,
