[jira] (MWAR-227) packaged (war:war) and exploded (war:expanded) webapps have different content

["Dieter König (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-227?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=308341#comment-308341 ] 

Dieter König commented on MWAR-227:
-----------------------------------

Huh? You are referencing the documentation. Is possibly the documentation of exploded goal wrong?
"Description:
Create an exploded webapp in a specified directory."

How should this be understood?

By the way there is no need in functionality exploded goal provides ACTUALLY because the exploded directory in that form is already generated during war:war processing. That's why i was also assuming exploded would generate the "unpackaged" war and what indeed should be the truth.

> Specifically, when using <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</packagingExcludes>, the jars are correctly excluded from the packaged form of the war, but still present in the exploded form.
> Both forms should have identical content and should be totally interchangable.  This also means that there is no possible way to exclude jars from an exploded webapp.
> As a workaround, I also attempted this:
> {code:xml}
> <resource>
>   <excludes>
>     <exclude>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</exclude>
>   </excludes>
> </resource>
> {code}
> But just got an exception thrown for my efforts...
