Piotr Tabor commented on MWAR-53:
---------------------------------
The issue depends on org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.war.WarArchiver class
(initZipOutputStream method), which doesn't allow to create
war file without "web.xml" descriptor. The Ant WAR task doesn't allow this
neither (org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.War)
When I changed the maven-war-plugin to ignore lack of the file (warn only), I
got the result:
[INFO] Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing
WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode)

So I think, the issue shouldn't be fixed. The possibility to cope with
overlay's problem will be provided in other way.

> Key: MWAR-53
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-53
> Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Andreas Schildbach
>
> The WAR plugin does not allow for ignoring the web.xml file. I know that a
> WAR without web.xml does not make any sense in the normal use case, but if
> I'd like to overlay/join WARs with the WAR plugin (by defining dependencies
> to other WARs), there can be only one web.xml in the candidates (the WAR
> plugin does not join web.xml like cargo uberwar does).
> If I do not have a web.xml in my src/main/webapp folder, the WAR plugin
> complains.
