Stephane Nicoll commented on MWAR-216:
--------------------------------------
Agreed. Once the metadata about libraries will be fixed, this is trivial to
implement.
> Changes in dependencies aren't reflected in target/modulename/WEB-INF/lib

> Key: MWAR-216
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-216
> Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.1-alpha-2
> Reporter: Kohsuke Kawaguchi
>
> The war plugin copies module dependencies into target/modulename/WEB-INF/lib,
> but it doesn't remove files that don't belong there.
> So if I change POM to remove a dependency or change a version, you still see
> the old jar in WEB-INF/lib until you do a clean rebuild.
> As this often results in a rather painful bug (where you get two different
> versions of the same library in WEB-INF/lib, which makes the program break in
> some systems but not others), it'd be highly desirable if the plugin is smart
> enough to delete files that shouldn't be there.
