simpler and wars smaller
Partial dependencies for org.mdeggers:iforeclosure:1.0-SNAPSHOT:war
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mdeggers</groupId>
<artifactId>IFCResources</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
What are the dependencies for the war file? Partial list is not much help.

Folks,
I admit it, I'm a bit confused (and relatively new to maven).
Goal:
To release a WAR file with a minimal number of JAR files in WEB-INF/lib.
Thought:
1. Break up the WAR project into a WAR module and a JAR module
2. Make the WAR module be dependent on the JAR module
3. Use the Maven shade plugin in the JAR module to create a shaded JAR
4. Drive the entire project with an agregator pom.xml
The JAR module does shade properly, creating a single JAR with all of
the dependencies bundled into a single JAR. It uses a pom dependency
to gather in most of its requirements. None of the JAR or pom
dependencies have further dependencies, so the resulting JAR is
self-contained.
However, when I build the WAR file and reference the shaded JAR file
as a dependency, I do not get the shaded JAR file in WEB-INF/lib.
Instead, I get all of the dependencies as individual JAR files in
WEB-INF/lib.
I'm using the following environment (can post my complete pom.xml
files if needed).
OS: Fedora Linux 64 bit - latest updates
JDK: 1.7.0_72 64 bit
Maven: 3.2.3
maven-shade-plugin: 2.3
maven-war-plugin: 2.4

Partial dependencies for org.mdeggers:iforeclosure:1.0-SNAPSHOT:war
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mdeggers</groupId>
<artifactId>IFCResources</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Parent pom modules section:
<modules>
<module>IFCResources</module>
<module>iforeclosure</module>
</modules>
I'm obviously missing something here. Thoughts, corrections, pointers
are all appreciated.
I know, using a shaded JAR as a dependency is probably not best
practice. However, the resulting WAR file is an end product and the
shaded JAR only contains internal components from other web overlays
used to build the final war.
. . . just my (confused) 2 cents
