[jira] Commented: (MWAR-18) Need to declare dependencies as resources outside of WEB-INF in WARs

["David Boden (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-18?page=comments#action_55081 ] 

David Boden commented on MWAR-18:
---------------------------------

I've written a new goal as part of the webstart plugin.

First, I use the webstart plugin to package up my webstart application and all its dependencies into a zip artifact.

Then, from my web application, I run my goal to pull in the artifact and extract the zip into my web application.

I would have thought that this simple scenario should be handled by the war plugin. 



Here's my webapp's pom.xml. Look for the addWebstartArtifact plugin section:

> Need to be able to declare maven dependencies as resources within WARs.  Currently all dependencies are placed within WEB-INF/lib.
> Typical use-case is for a war project to pull in an applet from the repo to be included in the package.  Would need to specify the whereabouts of the applet in the WAR.
