Exploding dependencies in a war

[Stevo Slavić <ss...@gmail.com>]

Hello Maven users,

In a multimodule project, a module has war packaging and depends on some of
the modules with jar packaging from the same project. Is there a way to
configure war (or some other plugin like dependency or assembly) plugin so
that war ends up with classes of other depenedant modules from the same
project exploded in WEB-INF/classes instead of having their jar's in
WEB-INF/lib?

Regards,
Stevo.

In general people seem to be moving towards not having any exploded jars in
a war file... and indeed that would be the "best practice" that Maven seems
to encourage.

Thanks Brian, unpack-dependencies does the trick, at least partially. Not
sure if it's currently best solution, to have jar's of these unpacked
dependencies excluded from the war I use maven assembly plugin.

Wish war plugin or even dependency declaration itself would support such a
scenario, so one could configure whether dependency should be included in
the (jar, war, ...) archive in expanded form or not. Does this usage
scenario make sense to others?

Stevo.

dependency:unpack or dependency:unpack-dependencies will do this.
