[jira] Commented: (MWAR-33) jars with differents versions can be in WEB-INF/lib with war as dependencies

Alex Rau commented on MWAR-33:
------------------------------

Huge show stopper for us. We extend a 3rd party product and the current state of the WAR plugin forces us to redeclare > 100 3rd party dependencies which is practically *impossible*. 

Brett - IMHO you described a proper solution (ignore/empty out WEB-INF/lib, resolve *all* deps only using project descriptors). Is this really that tricky to implement (sounds like loads of efforts) - especially considering that this issue is years old - what about current versions of maven ? 

Regarding WEB-INF/lib: there's no point in using a tool like Maven for dependency management and then rely on plain old files (like ant) for web applications - this is definitely not following the "declaration" concept of Maven.
