AW: How to add a dependency dynamically during the build in a plugin?
Well, if anyone has a better idea how to add JARs to the dependencies which are created by another process (and are out of Maven's control), I'm all ears :-) Basically my problem is the webstart plugin which adds JARs only from the dependencies to the WAR it creates. As I mentioned, these WARs come from another build, so I can't reach them. Best regards, Eric > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: Wayne Fay [mailto:wayne...@gmail.com] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 15.

Eric,
Short answer, please don't do it. Plugins that add dependencies like that
cause major grief to any ide integrations and also make it impossible to
change versions of used dependencies, essentially making your plugin less
useful.
