Build-classpath should store the classpath in a Filter ------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-125 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-125 Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Components: build-classpath Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4 Reporter: Ludovic Claude Assignee: Brian Fox I have some web.xml files which contain in their environment parameters a list of jars to be downloaded by the client applets, for example: <env-entry> <description>Shared jars parameter</description> <env-entry-name>applet/shared_jars</env-entry-name> <env-entry-value>ejb.jar, axis.jar, axis-ant.jar, jaxrpc.jar, saaj.jar, wsdl4j.jar, commons-discovery.jar, commons-logging.jar, [...]</env-entry-value> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> </env-entry> (don't ask me why it's done like that, it's legacy software...) It would be great to be able to isolate this list of jars in a project, and then create from that project the classpath, store it in a filter which can then be applied on the web.xml file. Then I could rewrite my web.xml like this: <env-entry> <description>Shared jars parameter</description> <env-entry-name>applet/shared_jars</env-entry-name> <env-entry-value>${shared.jars}</env-entry-value> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> </env-entry> The list of shared jars would be defined in a new shared-jars project, which would list the shared jars in its dependencies section, in pure Maven style ;-) Thanks, Ludovic -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
