Hi Marcel,
Sorry I missed your response earlier, this list is going into overdrive!
Just in case i haven't framed my problem correctly: I'm using the
xdoclet plugin to
generate the descriptors and the source code under the target/
directory. So far
so good.
However the next step is to package these generated files into a war
file and so
I changed the packaging to 'war'. But the corresponding plugin
demands the existence
of a web.xml file under the src/ tree (ie not generated) otherwise it
will fail thus stopping
my build in its tracks.
In other words I want xdoclet to handle all of my war/ejb generation
needs and the only
thing I need at the packaging stage is a .war extension.
I suppose one option is to persuade xdoclet to generate to files
under src/ and not target/
but this feels wrong - for example mvn clean wouldn't get rid of
generated code then.
From memory here is my xdoclet snippet - not sure it helps because
as I mentioned above
I believe the problem is at the packaging stage, not generate-sources.
<configuration>
<task>
<ejbdoclet>
<fileset includes="**/*Servlet.java"/>
<deploymentdescriptor/>
<jbosswebxml contextroot="/trading" version="4.0"/>
</ejbdoclet>
</task>
</configuration>
Thanks
- Ashley

I totally agree with Stphane, you should *NOT* use the jar plugin
to generate a war file.
But I think the xdoclet plugin is not correctly configured.
Can you send the configuration snippet in your pom.xml?
