Building war with multi-module classes and no module jars
I have a multi-module war project that currently creates a jar per module, then the jars of the jar modules are copied to WEB-INF/lib using the normal semantics for the war plugin. I am using the maven-jibx-plugin and would like to copy the classes generated from the non-war modules into the war's target/classes directory so I can bytecode-enhance the classes before building the war. I would also like to skip the step that builds the jars and copies them to the war's lib directory. Is this done with an assembly? I have read the documentation for the assembly plugin, but there is no mention on how to do this. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Building-war-with-multi-module-classes-and-no-module-jars-tp14332309s177p14332309.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can use the dependency:unpack http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/unpack-mojo.html to unpack the classes from the jars. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Building war with multi-module classes and no module jars
Thanks for the reply. What I would like to be able to do is copy the classes from from the other modules target/classes directories into the war's target/classes directory. I would also like to stop the package phase of the jars since I will not be using them and make the build go faster. It is a very large project. Is this possible? stojcevicht wrote: You can use the dependency:unpack http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/unpack-mojo.html to unpack the classes from the jars. - -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Building-war-with-multi-module-classes-and-no-module-jars-tp14332309s177p14338754.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Building war with multi-module classes and no module jars
OK, here's the situation. The JIBX bytecode enhancer modifies classes across multiple modules and it has to work this way because of dependencies between the classes. This is executed with a process-classes phase after all the jars are built, but before the war is built. Since all the jars are built before the JIBX plugin can run, the enhanced classes are in the jar modules target/classes directory but not in the jar. Another possibility is if there was a way to run the jibx plugin after all the modules are compiled but before they are assembled into jars that would work too. I can live with the jars being built so continuum can work. stojcevicht wrote: maven isn't really setup to be able to reach into other projects, to use artifacts created in other projects, you should go through jars via the repo You can however still do it by using the antrun plugin and ant's copy target with relative referencing ../project-a/target/classes, but doing so you loose true project independence (and you won't be able to add the projects individually to continuum if you use continuum). To stop the jar packaging you could: 1 - just call mvn compile in the common project, that won't jar up the classes 2 - change the project type in the pom from jar to pom, but then you'll have to setup each plugin you want to call since the jar lifecycle won't get called Couldn't you just add the class file post processing to the projects that the class files are compiled in? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Building-war-with-multi-module-classes-and-no-module-jars-tp14332309s177p14339854.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
