EAR as WAR dependency?
Hello, I've got an EAR application for which I'm building a specific extension as an additional WAR. My question is, what is the best way to do this without the original EAR's POM knowing anything about the extra WAR? Any examples would be appreciated. Many thanks, Manos - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: EAR as WAR dependency?
How would you solve this problem without Maven? What kind of EAR could load a WAR it doesn't know about? I don't doubt that this is possible with some magic, but that magic is separate from Maven. Once you have the magic well-defined, Maven can help you build it and package it.

Re: EAR as WAR dependency?
Sounds like you want to unpack the EAR, add the WAR and repack it again... that would be a 2nd EAR module that depends on the first EAR and the WAR... might need some massaging, or perhaps a m-d-p:unpack-dependencies On 18 October 2011 16:59, Brian Topping topp...@codehaus.org wrote: How would you solve this problem without Maven?

Re: EAR as WAR dependency?
Hello Brian, Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about using the unpack goal of maven-dependency-plugin, then change the target dir for the WAR to place it in there along with some enhanced EAR descriptors. Just looking for better ideas and/or examples to save time. Manos On 10/18/2011 06:59 PM, Brian Topping wrote: How would you solve this problem without Maven?
