Building a jar of a some of a webapp's classes
I am using Maven to build struts-menu
(http://sf.net/projects/struts-menu). Since this is a tag library - I
want to build the struts-menu.jar from my target/struts-menu/classes
directory, but I don't want to include net/sf/navigator/example/*
classes. I want the example classes to remain in WEB-INF/classes and
move the rest to WEB-INF/lib/struts-menu.jar before deployment. This
will allow the struts-menu.war (example app) to use the same setup that
users will use. What is the best place to do this - in a <preGoal> of
webapp:war? Does anyone have any samples of this lying around?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: Building a jar of a some of a webapp's classes [solved]
Posted by Matt Raible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>.
I got what I wanted by doing the following:
1. In project.properties, I have:
maven.war.classes.excludes=**/navigator/displayer/*
maven.war.classes.includes=**/navigator/example/*
maven.jar.excludes=**/example/*
2. In maven.xml I added:
<!-- create jar file for struts-menu and include it in WEB-INF/lib
-->
<postGoal name="war:webapp">
<attainGoal name="jar"/>
<copy file="${maven.build.dir}/${maven.final.name}.jar"
todir="${maven.build.dir}/${pom.artifactId}/WEB-INF/lib"/>
</postGoal>
This accomplished what I was looking for.
Thanks,
Matt

what about adding a sourceModifications element in your pom ? I guess
it can help you, tho ive never used it yet. Id also like to hear if this
a use case where sourceModifications should be applied.

Doing two subprojects seems like a lot of work to me - if it's not,
please provide a link (or short howto) on how I can do this. In the
meantime, here's what I've done:
1. Include **/example from the war.src, excluded everything else
2. Excluded **/example from the jar.src
It seems like it should be pretty easy to just make the war goal depend
on jar and then have the jar included in WEB-INF/lib of the war. Is
this not possible? It seems like a quick and easy solution.

Recommend two subprojects - one for the tag library and one for the
example web application, with the web application having a dependency on
the tag library. This would make repository management easier, too.
