Build-classpath should store the classpath in a Filter
------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-125
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-125
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build-classpath
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4
Reporter: Ludovic Claude
Assignee: Brian Fox
I have some web.xml files which contain in their environment parameters a list
of jars to be downloaded by the client applets, for example:
<env-entry>
<description>Shared jars parameter</description>
<env-entry-name>applet/shared_jars</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>ejb.jar, axis.jar, axis-ant.jar, jaxrpc.jar,
saaj.jar, wsdl4j.jar, commons-discovery.jar, commons-logging.jar,
[...]</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
(don't ask me why it's done like that, it's legacy software...)
It would be great to be able to isolate this list of jars in a project, and
then create from that project the classpath, store it in a filter which can
then be applied on the web.xml file.
Then I could rewrite my web.xml like this:
<env-entry>
<description>Shared jars parameter</description>
<env-entry-name>applet/shared_jars</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>${shared.jars}</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
The list of shared jars would be defined in a new shared-jars project, which
would list the shared jars in its dependencies section, in pure Maven style ;-)
Thanks,
Ludovic
