Thanks for the reply. I had something like this set up at first, but
quickly changed it because I'm also working on the component library
project at the same time. Any time I want to see my changes I have to
mvn install that artifact and then (re)execute my demo app. On top of
that, part of the components are JS and CSS whose changes I need to see
immediately - without installing/stopping/starting the web app.
I can do all of this in my current setup, with the (unacceptable) side
affect of having a test app in a production artifact. If there is a way
to do this using a dependent project, can you direct me towards
information on how?
Thanks,
Chris

create a new web app project that just contains the demo code... depend on the

you need to be careful not to include dependencies in the demo app or at least
none of the same deps as the real app... you will see two versions of jars
appearing in the demo war

Hello list,
I have a question regarding the final packaging of artifacts. Basically
I want to exclude an entire (sub) package of class files - here's why:
I'm working on an app (web) that contains a 'demo app', solely used to
showcase visual components. The app project is actually a component
library, and the app part isn't ever used in production. The demo app
lives in a sub package under src/main/java, NOT src/test/java. The
reason for this is because the demo app needs access to resources
(javascripts, css, and images) that are part of the components, and
naturally these resources also live in src/main/resources.
Now if I move my demo app to the recommended place under src/test/java,
then when I run my web app (jetty plugin) it fails to find the
resources, since the tests never include resources from
src/main/resources but only from src/test/resources. Keeping my demo app
in the main directory allows it to access the resources.
So now I need a way to strip the demo app from the final artifact,
unless there is a way to move it to where it belongs (src/test/...) but
modify the location used for resources. Any suggestions (links to docs,
etc) are appreciated. I've read Better Builds ... and didn't come across
anything of this nature.
Thanks in advance
sincerely,
Chris Lewis
