Dennis Lundberg commented on MEAR-60:
-------------------------------------
Thanks a lot Andreas.
I'm still playing around with the code you sent. Trying to wrap my head around
what, when and how things are happening the way they do.
My current path forward is to include a new FileNameMapping implementation in
the plugin, based on your code. I just need to understand the mechanics, to be
able to find suitable names.
Do you have any data on your environment when skinny wars does and does not
work? Maven version, OS and WAR plugin version etc.

> 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
