Hi All
I have a maven web project that has packaging as "war". the package generates
war file that confirms to war format. But, i like to package the project as a
"jar" as well along with the default "war" format. So, I am trying to use
"maven jar" plugin to achieve that. I am using the following jar plugin
configuration.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-a-jar</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<classesDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</classesDirectory>
<includes>
<include>../../src/main/webapp/**</include>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The "package" command produces a jar file that contains the classes and the
contents of 'resources' folder and war file produces a proper 'war' file. But
the contents of 'src/main/webapp' are not included in the jar file. How to
include the contents of src/main/webapp in the jar using the jar plugin?
