Hi Wayne, here's a more concrete example. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but I hope this makes it easier to see the stupid-ness.
Create a new jar project: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.example -DartifactId=foo-bar Make the pom.xml look like this: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>foo-bar</artifactId> <packaging>jar</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>foo-bar</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>commons-cli</groupId> <artifactId>commons-cli</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> Create a new war project: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.example -DartifactId=webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp Make the pom.xml look like this: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>webapp</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>webapp Maven Webapp</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>foo-bar</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <optional>true</optional> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <finalName>webapp</finalName> <plugins> <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> </plugins> </build> </project> Do mvn install on the foo-bar project. Do mvn package on the webapp project. See that all the commons-cli dependencies are included inside the war WEB-INF/lib directory? How to only add this to the manifest classpath and not include in WEB-INF/lib ?
