Hi All I have a maven web project that has packaging as "war". the package generates war file that confirms to war format. But, i like to package the project as a "jar" as well along with the default "war" format. So, I am trying to use "maven jar" plugin to achieve that. I am using the following jar plugin configuration.
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>make-a-jar</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>jar</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <classesDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</classesDirectory> <includes> <include>../../src/main/webapp/**</include> <include>**/*</include> </includes> </configuration> </plugin> The "package" command produces a jar file that contains the classes and the contents of 'resources' folder and war file produces a proper 'war' file. But the contents of 'src/main/webapp' are not included in the jar file. How to include the contents of src/main/webapp in the jar using the jar plugin?
