Hello everybody,
I am currently having some trouble with the war plugin and could need
some help.
The issue is about the manifest file and adding the dependent jar to
its classpath BUT excluding it from the WEB-INF/lib folder.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-manifest-guide.html
I already read the war-manifest-guide and set the attribute
<optional>true</optional> in the dependency. Having done this, the
manifest file is being written absolutely correct. All the jars are
being placed into the classpath.
But the jars as well are being placed into the WEB-INF/lib folder
which I expected not to happen, regarding the three cases at the
bottom of the guide.
The dependency I use is a pom that wraps all the dependent jars together.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example.eap</groupId>
<artifactId>EAP_3rd-party_Library</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>pom</type>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
The reason why I am doing this is that I have an EAR as the top level
artifact that is being created. Within this EAR I have three WARs that
all do use the same dependencies and need to share them. That?s why I
want to set those jars to optional in the WARs and reinclude them in
the EAR.
This does all work perfectly fine except that the jars are being
placed into the WEB-INF/lib though set to optional in the pom.
I already tried to set the dependencie to provided aswell, but this
just acted as if I had set only the provided scope. No jars in
WEB-INF/lib BUT no Classpath inclusion in manifest file aswell.
Does anyone have an idea or suggenstion how I could fix this or what I
might be doing wrong?
Thank you for any help,
Alexander
