-------------------------------------
There's nothing I can do at this point. We need an update on how war
dependencies are handled.
> Improve support for skinny war files
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: MEAR-60
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-60
> Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: mvn 2.0.5
> Reporter: Marcel Schutte
> Priority: Critical
>
> Provide a boolean configuration option for webModules to include the war's
> transitive dependencies.
> As described on
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.html it
> is very common in a J2EE environment to use so called skinny wars. Here the
> war's WEB-INF/lib will not contain the dependent jars, but instead they are
> packaged inside the EAR. The war references them through its
> META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
> This option could be used to avoid the 'painful part' mentioned in the above
> web page. The war's dependencies wouldn't have to be duplicated alongside the
> ear's.
> I also found an old issue (MEAR-14) which has asked for the current default
> behavior of not including the transitive dependencies. It suggests a property
> to include specific dependencies of the war. As far as I can tell this has
> never been implemented and this is also not what I am asking for. My proposal
> is an all of nothing kind of option for each war module in the ear.
> On a side note, for me this is the part where removal of the old maven 1
> style properties per dependency is missed the most. With them it was possible
> to decide for each single dependency whether to put it in WEB-INF/lib or
> reference it through the manifest classpath. But of course, then we didn't
> have the transitive dependencies
