Creating a war file that includes an applet

[Mark McBride <ma...@llnl.gov>]

Our project requires that we have an applet in our web application. 
Following the best practices of maven we decided to place the applet code 
in a separate cvs module since it is a separate artifact from the war we 
build in the main project.

My question is how does one include the applet into the main project in a 
public accessible area of the web application. If I declare it in the 
project.xml when I run "maven war" it will only be loaded in the lib 
directory which won't be accessible from the web page that I want to embed 
the applet in. I'm thinking I might need to write a goal to copy the applet 
jar from the maven local repository at build time???

Any suggestions or pointers are very appreciated!

In maven.xml

<postGoal name="war:webapp">
   <ant:copy todir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}" 
file="${pom.getDependencyPath('id-goes-here')}"/>
</postGoal>

Since the mechanism in b10 is to build the war from the exploded webapp, 
this should be all you need. In the code above id-goes-here should be 
the id of your artifact - the same as you would use in the <id> element 
when specifying the applet jar as a dependency.

You almost certainly don't want the applet dependency to be marked 
'war.bundle'.
