I managed to exclude direct dependencies and add them to the manifest
classpath as per
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-manifest-guide.html
--but it still puts all transitive dependencies in WEB-INF/lib.
For example. Project A is <packaging>jar</packaging>
Project A artifact is jar, and it has a bunch of dependencies.
Project B is <packaging>war</packaging> and depends on project A like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>blah</groupId>
<artifactId>A</artifactId>
<version>blah</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
Then I configure maven war plugin like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
What I want is that project A and all its transitive dependencies end
up in the Manifest classpath, but are not included in WEB-INF/lib.
What ends up happening with this configuration is that project-A.jar
is excluded from WEB-INF/lib, but it is in the Manifest classpath.
However, all project A's transitive dependencies are included in
WEB-INF/lib and they are in the Manifest classpath. I want the latter
but not the former. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Davis
