overlay <include> to strip the original path
--------------------------------------------
Key: MWAR-203
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-203
Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: 2.1-beta-1
Reporter: Adam Hamer
Priority: Minor
I have a base-war project which I'd like to overlay into my project-war. To
avoid filename conflicts I use <targetPath>, but the result is
project//targetPath/WEB-INF/... and I don't really want the WEB-INF in there. I
came across this posting with the same issue:
http://www.coderanch.com/t/447258/Ant-Maven-Other-Build-Tools/Maven-war-dependencies-moving-files.
I also tried an assembly approach, but this also includes WEB-INF. Other ideas
could include using the dependency plugin, antrun-plugin, cargo plugin or some
other option? However, I would like to use jetty now that it is supporting
overlays http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JETTY-1027.
Perhaps some mechanism like this could be added:
under <includes> or <include>
<excludePathPrefix>/WEB-INF/</excludePathPrefix> <!-- ignores the prefix
given -->
<excludePath>true</excludePath> <!-- copies only the filename -->
