Adding Artifacts to War without making them dependencies.

["Roy, Anthony" <An...@bl.uk>]

Hi all,

I am currently using Maven to build several interdependent projects. Two of
these are a module (X) which accepts plugins, and a sample plugin (P).
Module P has a compile time dependency on module X. X is built into a War
archive, and needs to pull in the Jar built by Module P into its lib folder.


The way I am currently handling this is by simply adding a dependency on
Module P into the project.xml of Module X. However, ideally I wish to use
the reactor to build everything from scratch (there are around 6
sub-projects in total). Of course the current situation does not let me do
this, as there is a circular dependency between P and X.

Any ideas how I might accompish this without adding an artificial dependency
on P in X as I am currently dong? The sort of thing I am thinking of is
adding a pre-goal to war:war, and perhaps a property specifying the
additional artifacts to pull into the lib directory - would this work? I am
pretty new to Jelly, so ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers,
