Maven and Struts

[Graham Leggett <mi...@sharp.fm>]

Hi all,

I would like to add struts v1.1rc1 to my project dependancies - however 
this version of struts depends on a nighly build of commons-logging, 
which does not seem to be available on ibiblio (the version there is too 
old AFAIK).

I have downloaded the nightly build I need, but I am not sure how to 
have this included in my WAR file. I see in the manual that you can 
override jar versions in project.properties, but this doesn't seem to 
work for WAR files.

Any clues?

Regards,
Graham

This worked great, thanks!

Install the commons-logging JAR in 
$MAVEN_HOME/repository/commons-logging/jars/commons-logging-FOO.jar

and set your dependency to
<dependency>
<id>commons-logging</id>
<version>FOO</version>
</dependency>

and Maven will never go looking for commons-logging-FOO.jar because 
it will already be in your repository.

I would probably use a datestamp for the nightly build in place of 
FOO, like "20030503", but it's arbitrary.  The thing is that since 
your project truly depends on THAT version of commons-logging, it 
would be better to indicate that in your project.xml dependencies, 
rather than overriding it and hiding the true dependency.
