Description

I had to get some help from evenisse to figure out how to generate the manifest classpath yet not include all the dependencies in WEB-INF/lib. I still don't know how to get a dependency into WEB-INF/lib but not the manifest classpath when generating the manifest classpath, but this should help anyone just trying to use a manifest cp in an ear.

I followed these directions exactly and I still ended up with the dependencies in my WEB-INF/lib.

The following is the relevant portion of my POM file.

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
<artifactId>xfire-all</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>1.2.8</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Michael, just because you add them to the manifest doesn't mean they will be auto-excluded.

<warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</warSourceExcludes>
