copy list of jars into a war
I would like to copy all jars from a lib folder into my war file. I can do it
by listing a dependency tag for each of them but I don't want to put 20
dependency tags in my pom. Is there any way where I can just reference a lib
folder and say to copy all these files to the war?
/lib/
1.jar
2.jar
3.jar
4.jar
..
20.jar
Thanks,

No. This is simply not how Maven works. Please go back to using Ant if
you require this functionality.

If you're using maven, then you probably shouldn't have a lib folder full of jar files. If you provide more details about how your build is structured, we can likely help you make it more maven-ish.

Well, far be it from me to contradict an authority, but I can offer an
alternative.
If there is some good reason to treat all those jars as a lump, and if
none of your code that you are compiling depends on having them in the
compilation classpath, you *can* create an artifact for them with the
assembly plugin, and then unpack it into the WAR with the overlay
mechanism.
Your message gives me no reason to believe that this is the right
thing to do in your particular case as opposed to listing out all the
dependencies. You might want to look at dependency inheritance
(scope=pom) as a way of factoring this list of 20 things into one
place.

Use ANT.
The Maven way is to list the dependencies... if you don't want to list
dependencies, then don't use Maven.

The first you must read more info for Maven(Book for Sonotype).
Dependencies must be in the pom.xml.
