[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-60?page=comments#action_69500 ]
Mike Perham commented on MWAR-60: --------------------------------- This would break the generation of "skinny" wars (wars with no jars in WEB-INF/lib). 2.0's behavior was technically a regression from the behavior in 2.0-beta-2. > Source Excludes are being applied to WAR file > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-60 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-60 > Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin > Type: Bug > Versions: 2.0.1 > Environment: WinXP, jdk1.5.0_07, mvn 2.0.4 > Reporter: Chuck Deal > Fix For: 2.0.2 > > > My scenario: > I use Eclipse 3.1.1 to develop the web app. I run Tomcat 5.5.17 with it's > docbase pointed at the source tree (/src/main/webapp). As a result, I have > files that are required by Tomcat to run, but not to be included in the WAR. > Specifically, I have a WEB-INF folder with a classes directory that includes > classes that will actually be included in the WAR as a JAR (as well as a few > other things). > As you can see in the following plugin snippet, I specifically exclude the > WEB-INF folder from the source tree because all of its contents will be > gathered by the various stages of the build process (process-resources, etc) > and included in the WAR when it is "exploded" > I had been using the following plugin snippet for generating my War (war > plugin 2.0) > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.0</version> > <configuration> > <webXml>target/jspweb.xml</webXml> > <warName>aims</warName> > <excludes>**/*.jsp*, **/JasperReports/*.*, **/WEB-INF/**/*.*</excludes> > </configuration> > </plugin> > If you change the version from 2.0 to 2.0.1, you will no longer generate the > same WAR file! Instead, v2.0.1 uses the source excludes and applies them to > the WAR construction as well. This means that the exploded WEB-INF (the > correct one) is also removed from the WAR file. > I don't think that the source excludes should be applied to the WAR > construction, only to the stage where the source files are "exploded" (as in > v2.0) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
