Problem compiling project with WAR dependency
Hi All,
I've got a couple of projects, 1 is a WAR project, another is a JAR project
which needs to depend on the java classes in the WAR. Normally, you
wouldn't do this, but in this case, the JAR project is for unit tests and
wants to be able to instantiate the Actions in the WAR project.
In order to get the WAR project to install both a WAR and JAR artifact to
the repository, I've added this plugin to the WAR project:
plugin
groupIdorg.apache.maven.plugins/groupId
artifactIdmaven-jar-plugin/artifactId
configuration
classifierfor-unit-tests/classifier
/configuration
executions
execution
goals
goaljar/goal
/goals
/execution
/executions
/plugin
Then, in order to depend on that code, I have the following dependency in
the Unit Test project:
dependency
groupId${project.groupId}/groupId
artifactIdtheArtifact/artifactId
version${project.version}/version
classifierfor-unit-tests/classifier
typejar/type
scopecompile/scope
/dependency
If I go ahead and compile/install this from this project, it works fine.
However, if I invoke the compilation at a higher level - for instance if I
go to the root project that is the parent of both of these, and run 'mvn
clean install', the compile step fails because the WAR's target/classes
directory is not on the classpath. I have no idea why this is the case.
I've tried to tweak the compiler to include it manually like so:
plugin
groupIdorg.apache.maven.plugins/groupId
artifactIdmaven-compiler-plugin/artifactId
configuration
source1.5/source
target1.5/target
verbosetrue/verbose
compilerArguments
classpathwar_project/target/classes/classpath
/compilerArguments
/configuration
/plugin
but then it blows away the rest of the compile classpath. And I haven't
found a way to manually append to the existing classpath.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

Re: Problem compiling project with WAR dependency
Yes, that is definitely an option that I may need to pursue. It's unfortunate, though, since the way I have it set up *should* work. This just seems like a bug in the dependency plugin which it depends on source modules as opposed to the artifacts built in the repos...
