Need a separate jar from war in assembly
So I have a jar that needs to be in an assembly but not in the war
file. It's a jdbc driver for the appserver.
How can I get it into the compressed archive but outside of the *.war file?

The war plugin should be moving all the dependencies into the lib
directory in WEB-INF/lib. Are you sure
you have specified the correct dependencies (ie: xx-weblogic?) in the
xx-webapp module?
In my situation, I have xx-common, xx-server, xx-weblogic module all as
jar maven modules. They all end up
in my WEB-INF/lib directory of my xx-webapp module along with any
transitive dependencies like spring, commons-*, etc.

I've created a xx-weblogic module. That part was easy. Problem is that
there is no lib dir. Maven doesn't copy libs to the source tree in
accordance with the idea that they should not be in the version
control system. So the question remains... how do I get the jar from
the repository and into the assembly?

This is still a problem. Still not working. Clues anyone?

BTW, I've tried this by using a dependancySet in the descriptor. This
didn't work out.

The question in question was mine rather than Mr. Russo's. ;-)
So I've created a SunWebserver module and added the jar as a
dependency. What maven is producing now is nothing when I use the
compile goal and a jar with manifest.mf, pom.xml, pom.properties etc.
Still no jar though. Not even as a subcomponent of the produced jar
file.

Yes, it's common to have the code in a separate module from the
webapp. It makes it easier to do unit testing of the code separately
from integration testing the webapp.
I'm not sure how that relates to your original question though. I see
the jar module and the war module... where is the assembly plugin
configured? (Or, were you using 'assembly' in a generic sense?)
If you're just trying to convince Maven not to put your JDBC driver in
the war, try using 'provided' scope for that dependency.

Hello,
So, the recommended way is to have something like this, correct?
xx-weblogic (all code for web-application)
xx-webapp (the actual war, containing src/main/webapp,
src/main/resources, but no src/main. Code is really included though .jar
files in lib).

How is your project structured now? Are you trying to build the
assembly out of the same module that builds the webapp?
If so, moving the assembly to a separate module may make things easier.
I'm guessing, so if that's not it, give us more details.
