I found the answer to my problem and would like to save it here for the
archives.
The basic process I followed was: after the WAR is created, use the
maven-antrun-plugin to open it up, delete the JSP's, and rezip the WAR. To
do this, I added the following execution to my maven-antrun-plugin <plugin/>
as follows:
<execution>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<id>removeJSPs</id>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<unzip
src="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war"
dest="${project.build.directory}/myTmp" />
<delete>
<fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/myTmp"
includes="**/*.jsp" />
</delete>
<delete
file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war" />
<zip basedir="${project.build.directory}/myTmp"
destfile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war"/>
<delete dir="${project.build.directory}/myTmp" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
I chose the "pre-integration-test" phase so it runs right after the
"package" (WAR creation) phase[1]. The process above also creates a
temporary "target/myTmp" folder to do the opening and re-zipping of the WAR
file. The last <delete/> above removes it.
