Hi,

consider the following situation:

We distribute a web based application which uses a few jars we
designed ourself or licensed. The application itself is open sourced
for the customer because they can (and should) adjust it to their own
environment. The jars contain some Services and Beans which are not
open sourced and only distributed to the customers (which must not
redistribute them). So we basically ship them a maven tree and a "lib"
directory which contains the jars. Then we tell the customers:

- install maven (currently we're on b4)
- copy the contents of "lib" into your ~/javalibs
- do "ant"

it would be nice if we can get rid of the second step, because it
confuses some customers (and introduces errors). 

How can we include shipped jars from a directory (or a jars.list
file), compile and then deploy them into WEB-INF/lib?

It is not possible to distribute the jars over the Internet (some we
licensed ourselves and must not do so).

Can I do this with maven current? If yes, how?

        Regards
                Henning
