We never got this to work - I am guessing because we're using b7 rather
than the latest version. An alternative is to add the following to your
build script
<project xmlns:deploy="deploy"
xmlns:interaction="jelly:interaction">
.
.
.
<deploy:copy-deps todir="${web.dir}/WEB-INF/lib"
excludes="${deps.eclipse.excludes}"/>
Where web.dir is the build directory for the WAR file and excludes is a
comma separated list of group ids that should be excluded from the WAR
file. It's a more manual process but definitely works with b7.
Michal's reply is almost certainly the better option, but try the above if
it doesn't work for you.

Mike

Subject: RE: copy jars to web-inf/lib best practice
Mark your dependiencise like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>fop</groupId>
<artifactId>fop</artifactId>
<version>0.20.3</version>
<properties>
<war.bundle.jar>true</war.bundle.jar>
</properties>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>avalon-framework</groupId>
<artifactId>avalon-framework</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
<properties>
<war.bundle.jar>true</war.bundle.jar>
</properties>
</dependency>
and war pluging will know what to do
