Hello all,

I thought I saw on the list some time ago that a pom for a war could
specify another war artifact as a dependency with the idea being that
the depended war would be unzipped and then the webapp from the current
project would be copied over it. Is this only available in a snapshot
version of the war plugin? Is it deployed anywhere? If not, where is
the source repo for the war plugin? I tried looking at the project page
for the plugin, but that has an invalid link

Plugins have moved

I checked out the source for the maven-war-plugin and installed it in my
local repository. But when I try and do a 'mvn war:war' I'm still getting

required artifacts missing:

So it looks like maven is still trying to download the artifact as a jar
instead of as a war which is what mpl-common-webapps packaging is
defined to be in it's pom. Do I also need to use a snapshot version of
maven to make this work or is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks for the help,
Rich

Does this new functionality require a snapshot version of maven as
well? I checked out the source for the maven-war-plugin and did mvn
install and then went back to my project and tried to run 'mvn war:war'
but I still get

required artifacts missing:

So, it looks like rather than trying to use a war it's trying to use a
jar, even though the pom for mpl-common-webapp clearly states the
packaging is war.

Have you tried mvn package instead of mvn war:war?

mvn war:war is rarely what you want, it won't run any of the previous steps
