Hi Jörg,
This is excellent and worked a treat. Thank you so much, for future reference,
once the dependencies are declared with a <scope>, here is the correct plugin
configuration solution
<!-- Used to provide dynamic OpenIE toggling within service -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includeScope>provided</includeScope>
<outputDirectory>${output.directory}</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Really clean and very useful.
Thank you
Lewis
