RE: War plugin question
I'm using Tomcat 5.5 which doesn't support EAR files. I think a move to a J2EE application server might be a good idea for the future but in the short term I'm going to use Tomcat.

RE: War plugin question
The assembly plugin certainly seems to be the solution. My project is multi module; a module for each webapp and a module for the shared library. I've been trying to write an assembly descriptor in the parent module that copies all the jar files from each webapp module (that would normally get copied into WEB-INF/lib) into a directory (I use warSourceExcludes to stop the jars going to WEB-INF/lib). The examples on the maven site don't seem to cover this kind of situation - has anyone attempted anything like this?

RE: War plugin question
Thanks Kalle. That looks like it should solve the problem.

RE: War plugin question
I actually have 2 webapps shared across multiple contexts that share a common library. When this library is built I've made an ant plugin that copies the library jar and all it's dependencies to Tomcat's common/lib directory. So I'm already using the provided scope for some jars used by the webapps that are in Tomcat's common/lib. Each webapp then has it's own dependencies (struts, jsf etc.) built straight into it's WEB-INF/lib directory and it's class files to WEB-INF/classes. This works fine but get's tight on memory when more and more contexts are running due to the webapp class loader. I'm really looking for a way to build any compile scoped jars straight into Tomcat's shared/lib along with the generated class files to shared/classes. Something like a "destination directory" setting in the war plugin would do the trick but I couldn't find one. Any ideas?

War plugin question
My application uses a war file that is shared by multiple contexts within Tomcat. I'm using the Maven2 War plugin to build the war file. At present the generated class files and the jar files used by the application are put inside the war file's WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes directories. I would like to be able to decrease the memory footprint by putting these files into Tomcat's shared/lib and shared/classes directories. Does anyone know of a way that this can be done? Thanks, Steve Vangasse
