Brett,
If you want to generate a jar file for your war file and do not want to
create 2 subprojects (as is the general convention), you can create a very
simple postGoal that will jar your class files just prior to construction of
your war file:
<postGoal name="war:webapp">
<attainGoal name="jar:jar"/>
<ant:copy file="${maven.final.name}.jar"
todir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}/WEB-INF/lib"/>
<ant:delete dir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}/WEB-INF/classes"/>
</postGoal>
I haven't tested it, so you may have to fiddle with it a bit, but I think
you get the idea.
Cheers,
Chuck
