FW: What does "war:war" always remove existing *.jar from ${maven .war.src}/WEB-INF/lib directory?

[Alex Liu <al...@channelwave.com>]

Hi,

Why does "war:war" always remove existing *.jar from
${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF/lib?  I have setup a project has following
structure:

-- master-proj
 |-- sub-proj-1
 |-- sub-proj-2

master-proj:
    This project is used to build a war file which contains JARs generated
by "sub-proj-1" 
    and "sub-proj-2".
sub-proj-1:
    This project is used to build a JAR file.
sub-proj-2:
    This project is used to build another JAR file.  This project depends on
"sub-proj-1".

I created a goal that does followng:
    1.  call "clean" on "master-proj", "sub-proj-1", "sub-proj-2" (using
reactor)
    2.  call "java:compile,java:jar,jar:install" on "sub-proj-1" and
"sub-proj-2" (using 
        reactor)
    3.  manually copy the JAR files from "sub-proj-1/target" and
"sub-proj-2/target" to 
        ${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF/lib.    
        Note:  the reason I have to do this manually is that I cannot define
"sub-proj-1" and 
        "sub-proj-2" as "dependencies" in "master-proj" because both
"sub-proj-1" and 
        "sub-proj-2" are child project of "master-proj".
    4.  call "war:war" on "master-proj".

Since "war:war" always remove any existing *.jar from ${maven.war.src}, all
JAR files generated by "sub-proj-1" and "sub-proj-2" are not bundled in the
final WAR file.  All JAR files that are defined as dependencies (with
"war.bundle.jar" property sets to "true") are bundled in the final WAR file.

My understanding is that we should be able to put whatever we need to
${maven.war.src}, and "war:war" should just package them into the WAR file.

"war:webapp" seems to be doing the right thing.  It preserves all the
existing JAR files in ${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF/lib.

Did I set up my project right as above?  Or I have to alter "war:war"
(comment out the part that removing existing JARs from
${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF/lib goal to solve the problem?

It sounds like you need to reorganize your project into 3 projects under
one "master" reactored project so that you can define your sub-projects as
dependencies of your other project.
