You should define a multi-module POM project 1 master pom, packaged as POM, demending on the JAR module and the WAR modules
<project> ..... <packaging>pom</packaging> ... <modules> <module>jar</module> <module>war</module> </modules> ... </project> Then in you JAR directory, POM should look like this <project> <groupId>XXXX</groupId> <artifactId>YYY</artifactId> <packaging>jar</packaging> ...... <parent> <groupId>here comes your master-pom-reference</groupId> <artifactId>QQQQQQ</artifactId> <version>VVVV</version> </parent> ..... ..... ..... </project> Then, crucial step is to build the WAR file with the JAR included Please note the <Dependency> section to include the JAR <project> <parent> <artifactId>Master pom</artifactId> <groupId>master pom</groupId> <version>master pom</version> </parent> <groupId>my WAR</groupId> <artifactId>my WAR</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> .... <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> <classpathPrefix>./</classpathPrefix> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>Here comes my JAR</groupId> <artifactId>Here comes my JAR</artifactId> <version>Here comes my JAR</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> I hope this will help Thierry 2006/6/6, Martin Goldhahn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi! The maven-plugin copies the classes of a project to WEN-INF\classes. Is there a way to tell the plugin to rather package the class files in a jar and then put them in the WEB-INF\lib folder. The background for this is: I have another project that uses the WAR as a dependency. All jar files are included in this project but not the class files, which are the ones I'm really interested in.
