Kees Jongenburger commented on MPWAR-41:
----------------------------------------

Yes. this will greatly improve the usability of the war plugin.
it's really a smal change that make a world of difference.

      <j:set var="targetPath" value="${dep.getProperty('war.target.path')}"/>
      <j:set var="unzip" value="${dep.getProperty('war.unzip')}"/> 
      <j:if test="${!empty(unzip)}">
          <ant:unjar dest="${maven.war.webapp.dir}/${targetPath}" src="${lib.path}"/>
      </j:if>
      <j:if test="${empty(unzip)}">
        <j:if test="${!empty(targetPath)}">
          <ant:copy todir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}/${targetPath}" file="${lib.path}"/>
        </j:if>
      </j:if>

> In a project I'm working on, we need to be able to separate parts of our web applications, to be able to build different versions, with or without certain features.
> Since some of these "parts" use jsp's, have specific dependencies, etc... we can't just build them as jars.
> I've made the attached patch in order to be able to specify a dependency of type war and have it included in my "master" war. 
> Note that for this to work, the dependent war should not have a web.xml, for instance. As it is, it simply unwar's the dependency in the main build directory. It might be desired to actually run this *before* copying the resources from the master project, so that at least they don't get overwritten by the dependencies'. 
> Currently, the META-INF content and the web.xml are excluded from the unwar task, maybe more excludes should be added?
