Richard, AFAIK attachArtifact just tells Maven to install an additional binary to it's local cache resp. to deploy it to the distribution repository.
What you want, as far as I understand, is to create an artifact which will be picked up later on and included in a war? You should probably create a separate module project, which creates the jar and just include this jar as runtime dependency in your war project.
