Deep-Green horn in Maven

["Dalal, Sabyasachi (MED)" <Sa...@geind.ge.com>]

Hi,
	I am a newbie and I am not able to make maven do as I want.
My project structure looks like this,
src
	java
	webapps

when i call  maven war, it copies all the files/directories under classes (including build, *.xmls) into the WEB-INF directory and wars it. How to control the behaviour of the war goal or any goal ?

1.Basic question : How should Maven be used....call maven from ant or the other way.

2.Is there a simple sample application using Maven available somewhere which will help newbies ?

thanks
dalal

The maven plugin for the war goal is documented at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/reference/plugins/war

I'm not using the war plugin myself - so I can't give you further details...

Normally you would do neither.  But just use one of the existing maven 
plugins if it suits your purpose and maybe adjust to your environment 
using properties files.  If there are no plugin that suits you you can 
quite easily call existing Ant tasks from your own Maven plugin - see 
the developer documentation for further details.
