The war plugin doesn't support useTransitiveDependencies. It does, however, support packagingIncludes and packagingExcludes, which can be used to limit which files get placed into the WAR file. See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.ht ml
Justin -----Original Message----- From: chicagopooldude [mailto:seshu.pit...@cmegroup.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 10:56 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Global transitive depedency exclude I am working on getting a war file from our project using maven, we initially had around 120+ jars in lib which are have become cluttered that's one of the reason to move to Maven. Now due to transitive dependencies we have around 180+ jars in web-inf/lib. I have tried excluding each transitive jars using dependency:tree method with success. I wanted to know if there is any other way to globally disable transitive dependency in the whole project because there are times when two versions of jars are there in lib which causes problems while deployed war runs on server. Also I have seen <useTransitiveDependencies>true</useTransitiveDependencies> in assembly plugin can this be used to build war minus all the jars which we dont need?. Any help is appreciated and thanks for seeing this post. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Global-transitive-depedency-exclude-tp26079185p260 79185.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
