Dennis Lundberg commented on MWAR-9:
------------------------------------
I would like to close this issue as "Won't fix".
The proper way to solve this is in the EAR Plugin, like the proposals in
MEAR-60 and MEAR-87.
> WAR plugin should support minimal WARs for inclusion within an EAR

> I noticed that when I build a WAR, I get a gigantic WEB-INF/lib with all my
> deps. This is fine for a default but maven should also support "skeleton"
> WARs which will be packaged within an EAR. We have EARs which package 3-4
> WARs each and to have the deps duplicated within each WAR means we cannot
> have shared data (since the classes are loaded within each WAR's classloader,
> rather than by the parent EAR's classloader). It also means 80MB EARs! :-)
> It seems like two things need to happen:
> 1) Add a "skeleton" flag which prevents copying any dependencies to
> WEB-INF/lib.
> 2) Instead generate a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF which has a Class-Path entry which
> lists the relative locations of the dependencies within the parent EAR.
> Fabrice has basically the same idea written down here. Starting with "- for
> a War..." :
