**[Alex Rau](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rauar)** commented Huge show stopper for us. We extend a 3rd party product and the current state of the WAR plugin forces us to redeclare > 100 3rd party dependencies which is practically **impossible**. Brett - IMHO you described a proper solution (ignore/empty out WEB-INF/lib, resolve **all** deps only using project descriptors). Is this really that tricky to implement (sounds like loads of efforts) - especially considering that this issue is years old - what about current versions of maven ? Regarding WEB-INF/lib: there's no point in using a tool like Maven for dependency management and then rely on plain old files (like ant) for web applications - this is definitely not following the "declaration" concept of Maven. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
