RE: RE : War phases, binding a custom plugin to the war creation
I actually have this same issue and created a separate plugin to do this. It grabs a specified dependancy from the repository and explodes it where I tell it to. As long as this happens before the war plugin is called, everything seems ok. It doesn't merge the web.xml but we decided that would be ok and we just use the one from the dependant project. Since the pom will need to know all the dependancies, the web.xml can be preconfigured as well. The plugin can also copy artifacts without exploding them. I'm exploring what to do with this code, if I should release it somewhere or add it to another plugin etc. Suggestions welcome.

Subject: Re: RE : War phases, binding a custom plugin to the war creation
I'm definitely interested in this. We use Struts modules and we keep each Struts module in a separate project. We have to merge the various Struts modules during the build process (which are each like a WAR). I'm currently using a maven-war-plugin hack that a previous user posted to the list (may have been you Kevin), but I would like to see something more standard in place, especially since this seems to be a common use case.
Thanks,
Richard Allen
