creating a small non-primary war

[Mike Calmus]

I am trying to create a non-primary war that includes an applet jar and its
dependencies. This war is then merged into a larger war.

When I try to do this, though I get an error from the Maven Install plugin
indicating no primary artificat was created. The error returend is somewhat
different depending upon the plugin versions involved.

Here's what I have. Is there some better way to do this, or is this a bug in
one of the plugins or both? Thanks.
