Using maven to modify a vendor supplied war/ear
Our company has several projects where we have received a war or ear
from a vendor, and we need to insert jars or configuration files into
the vendor artifact before deploying them. Is there an existing maven
plugin that can handle this? If there is such a plugin, can it manage
inserting/updating files in embedded jars/wars also?

I have used that quite successfully in the past in exactly your
scenario. In my case it was the JasperServer Pro war that I overlaid
with different configuration for security, layout/styles and database
connections adding in different jdbc drivers.
I am not sure if the ear plugin has a similar feature.

You may simply use the war plugin to create a new war and use your vendor
war as overlay.

SV: Using maven to modify a vendor supplied war/ear
Posted by Johan Erlands <jo...@idainfront.se>.
Hello,
I don't know of a plugin that does what you want, but I have used several plugins to repack an ear.
I used the dependency plugin to unpack the ear. The maven-config-processor-plugin to change application.xml and the assembly-plugin to pack the ear again.
Regards,
Johan
