Simple WAR file question
I have setup my app to use maven and it has a custom project directory
structure.
I had to configure the maven-war-plugin to control the output of resources,
jsp's etc... but it works.
The issue im having now is that inside the target directory, I have my WAR
file, but its contents are not the same as the directories in the target
directory.
For example, my target dir is like this:
target/PROJECT/common
target/PROJECT/webApp
but my WAR file only has the webApp dir as its root directory. I need it to
be one level up. So the root of the WAR file is the same as the PROJECT dir
of the target directory.
Does that make sense?
I thought that I could just change the webappDirectory property of the
maven-war-plugin configuration, but that causes other errors... (like
placing the web.xml file in the wrong dir)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thats an interesting idea, I will have to think about the best way to do
this, it shouldn't be this hard...
I just need to figure out what is going on behind the scenes, then I can
make the right judgement
Thanks for the idea

What if your build had two steps.
1) Create a whole new arrangement of folders by copying everything from the
original format to a new layout. This is not done to be saved and reused but
only to move the contents of all the folders into position so the Maven POM
is short and sweet.
2) Build with a simplified Maven POM to create the various artifacts (jar
files, war files, javadoc, site, etc.)
It might be easier.
Thanks.

yes well I wouldn't need to do it this way if the business would allow a
project re-structure, but that would mean a switch the SVN from CVS and also
the time to change around the project structure and then regression testing.
So I'm sorry if this isn't an easy one, but thats why I'm looking for help.
Im looking through the Maven source code now for a possible solution...

Well. Ahem. It's a bit hard to understand without the project at hand
to be honest.

Hmmm, ok. Well I can tell you that I am not allowed to re-structure the

Your setup sounds a bit unusual to me and overcomplicated. Can you
show your pom file and provide more details?
