http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-9
We throw everything in <EAR_ROOT>/lib and exclude them from WEB-INF/lib. The
WAR's MANIFEST.MF is autogenerated like so:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
<warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</warSourceExcludes>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In the EAR's POM, you need to list all the dependencies that the WARs have as
direct dependencies in the EAR. This will tell the plugin to copy all
dependent jars to <EAR_ROOT>/lib.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<defaultJavaBundleDir>lib/</defaultJavaBundleDir>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Subject: [m2] war dependencies in ear
I've got ear multiproject that contain several web and ejb modules. Those ejbs
and wars have dependency on jar with application logic. Of course, application
logic has huge number of other 3th party dependencies. When I'm building ear,
all wars archives contain their own dependencies (including contain application
logic and all 3th party dependencies). Ear archive contain all ejbs
dependencies (also including application logic and all 3th party dependencies).
In result, I have application logic and all 3th party dependencies in each war
and also in ear. This includes all configuration files of application logic. So
if I want to change single property I must change it in every application logic
jar in each war and ear.
What I want to achieve? I want all dependencies from wars in ear bundle, not in
WEB-INF/lib.
I tried to exclude all jars in WEB-INF/lib using exclude tag in war
configuration. It works - directory WEB-INF/lib is empty, but it didn't solve
the problem, since those excluded jars weren't added to ear.
Do you know any solution for the problem?
best regards,
