Just to clarify. WEB-INF/classes will include both compiled classes and resources. So between WEB-INF/classes and jars under WEB-INF/lib there is no difference both are in the web app class path. To me it seems that the reason you want to package your classes/resources into jar first and then put it into WEB-INF/lib is that you want to distribute this jar for other purposes. And this is where multi module projects come in.

So why would you want to package it as a jar and then include in WEB-INF/lib ? Does it matter how the classes are packaged in the war ? If you are looking to make this jar available for other purposes, then this code is re-usable and shouldn't be part of the war codebase. You might want to take a look at multi module projects and set up a separate maven project for these classes and then included that project as a dependency for your war project. -Rk -----Original Message----- From: SACHIN :) [mailto:mishra_sac...@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 5:08 PM To: Maveb Users Subject: RE: Maven war build ignores resources folder Hi Yes, you are correct Jeff, the resources content ends up in the jar file under WEB-INF/lib. Is it a way to exclude the resources content from the jar and put it in the WEB-INF/classes WHEN the war is build?
