How to include system dependencies in war built using maven
eclipse, java, maven
Solution
Let me try to summarise the options I tried :
<packagingIncludes>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</packagingIncludes>
This doesn't work! Also, only having the jar name, excludes everything else, so if you are willing to try then try
<packagingIncludes>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar,**/*</packagingIncludes>
Jatin's answer seemed a bit complex and I tried going through the POM again & again to figure out where exactly were the system jars mentioned to be included in WEB-INF POM.
Anyways, I ended up using this solution, which wasn't working at first but after some time and some corrections worked :
I installed the jar in my local repository using the below command :
mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:\Users\hp\Documents\NetBeansProjects\TwitterAndLoginRadiusMaven\lib\LoginRadius-1.0.jar" -DgroupId=LoginRadius -DartifactId=LoginRadius -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar`
After running the above command, I changed the dependency in POM to
<dependency>
<groupId>LoginRadius</groupId>
<artifactId>LoginRadius</artifactId>
<!--<scope>system</scope>-->
<version>1.0</version>
<!--<systemPath>${basedir}\lib\LoginRadius-1.0.jar</systemPath>-->
</dependency>
NOTE - See I've commented the system scope & systemPath.
Building the war now, includes this LoginRadius-1.0.jar in WEB-INF/lib
Problem
I've searched on internet for quite some time and I'm unable to figure out how to configure the maven-war plugin or something alike so that the system dependencies are included in the built-war (WEB-INF/lib folder) I use the maven dependency plugin in case of a jar-build as : ``` <plugin> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <phase>install</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> </goals> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ``` but I'm unable to understand what is to be done in case of a war build. I've tried using the maven-war plugin, but it's not including system-dependencies in the build. [UPDATE] I'm having depedencies of type : ``` <dependency> <groupId>LoginRadius</groupId> <artifactId>LoginRadius</artifactId> <scope>system</scope> <version>1.0</version> <systemPath>${basedir}\lib\LoginRadius-1.0.jar</systemPath> </dependency> ``` in my POM and these dependencies are not included in WEB-INF/lib when the war is build.
