I'm in the process of converting a webapp from Ant builds to Maven2 builds and
I'm running into a hitch with the packaging. When I first built the webapp, it
put duplicate jars in my WEB-INF/lib since they exist there in my source
directory and it also included the jars defined in my pom dependencies. I
tried adding
<excludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</excludes> to my war plugin configuration, but then
I ended up with no jars in my war file.
I'd rather not delete the jars at the moment since I'm still doing parallel
development with Ant. Is there a way to accomplish this or am I wasting time
trying to make M2 do something it really shouldn't?
K.C.
