David Ledanseur commented on MECLIPSE-167:
------------------------------------------
Here is a patch that allows excluding some artifacts from the WEB-INF/lib
folder. It follows the given guideline :
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-manifest-guide.html
i.e. dependencies marked as optional are excluded from the packaging
> .component assumes all dependencies should be packaged in WAR

> Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin

> Our applications are packaged such that the JAR dependencies are packaged
> within the EAR, not the WARs. The dependencies are listed in the WAR in
> order to generate the MANIFEST.MF class-path entries, and to add compile
> dependencies to the .classpath. These dependencies are excluded from the
> packaged WAR, however, via the maven-war-plugin's warSourceExcludes
> configuration: <warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</warSourceExcludes> since
> they reference the EAR. [Related: MWAR-9]
> The Eclipse Plugin WTP configuration file generation currently assumes that
> all WAR project dependencies should be packaged and deployed in the WAR.
> Each dependency is listed as a "dependent-module" with a deploy-path of
> "/WEB-INF/lib" in the .component file.
> This causes the dependencies to be duplicated and packaged in the EAR and in
> every WAR when the project is published to an app server.
> The eclipse-plugin should expose additional WTP configuration or read the
> war-plugin's configuration in order to exclude these dependencies from being
> packaged and deployed within the WAR.
