[jira] Commented: (MPWAR-48) exception during war goal if TLD dir already exists.

["Brill Pappin (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPWAR-48?page=comments#action_44028 ] 

Brill Pappin commented on MPWAR-48:
-----------------------------------

Ahh, found the problem and IMO its not really a bug :)

turns out that the maven.war.tld.dir is expecting a webapp relative path, so when I tell it that I want my TLDs in ${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF the path I actually get is:
C:\workspace\jmonkey-java-xplanner\target\xplanner\C:\workspace\jmonke
y-java-xplanner\src\webapp\WEB-INF

of course this is wrong and is documented on the plugin site.

> Not sure if this is a bug or not but I'm getting an exception if the src/webapp/WEB-INF directory already exists and the property maven.war.tld.dir=${maven.war.src}/WEB-INF is set  (its legacy and I can't change it):
> Maven stack trace attached.
> This only happens when the WEB-INF directory already exists, if I remove it everything works fine (except I no longer have the currect stuff included in the WAR).
> anyway, it looks like mkdir is being called when the TLDs are imported, but is failing.
