Is there a way to create 2 war files from one war project?

Hello All,

I've need to create two varieties of the same war file.  Say for example a
standard and professional edition.  I can make these two editions using
profiles.  Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to identify them after
they are built.  Using a classifier comes to mind but the only thing I know
of that does that is the assembly plugin.  Is this the way to go or is there
a better way?

Thanks,

David

The best approach is to split your war project up into 2 war projects
(move the professional edition files to a new project), and then use
the war-overlays feature to merge the standard and professional
versions. And you should really just use a different artifactId -- one
for each war project -- though classifier would work, if you wanted to
use it instead.
