You're talking about http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-32
On 8/29/06, Matt Raible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
What I'm looking for is the ability to have a WAR that can act like a
JAR. That is, any projects that depend on the WAR will inherit its
dependencies. The current system basically requires me to publish a
WAR w/o any dependencies and then make end-users projects include both
a JAR and a WAR.
If I was able to use a WAR as a JAR, and inherit all its dependencies,
I could test and publish the WAR for download - and somehow exclude
WEB-INF/lib from publishing/downloading. The dependencies would then
be downloaded in the normal Maven way.
As it stands, my understanding is its best to create the following:
1. JAR project that contains all the dependencies
2. WAR project that contains no dependencies, just static files
3. WAR project to test including both #1 and #2 since #2 can't really
be tested since it has no dependencies.
Is this the current recommended way to do this? While the transition
to Maven 2 might be easier to end users, using the setup above seems
like it might be a lot more complicated for folks hoping to contribute
to AppFuse.
Thanks,
Matt
