In my src/main/webapp/WEB-INF I have a classes folder and a lib
folder, which are not part of the source, but let me compile in place
and immediately see the results of my changes in tomcat.
Now when I go to actually build a war using maven, I don't want that
lib nor classes folder - I want the one which maven generates. In its
default state, using version 2.0.2 of the war plugin, what happens is
that you get both sets - in the lib folder for example, you get
everything in my "dev" lib folder, plus any new snapshots or new
dependencies maven might have downloaded. So usually you end up with
duplicate jars. Not good.
How do you tell the war plugin to ignore src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib
and classes (but not ignore the ones assembled during compilation)?
No matter what configuration I use, it always either ignores both
sets, or includes both sets. Here is an example:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>**/WEB-INF/lib/*</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
or
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.*,WEB-INF/classes/**/*.*</
warSourceExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Thanks,
