We have multiple modules in this configuration:
<root>
aim
core
web*
war*
aimwebservices*
projects
ear**
adinventory
base
jar
hibernate-har
ui
*Builds a warfile and not a jar
** Builds the earfile that contains everything.
Our module aim/web is dependent upon aim/core and that is dependent upon
springframework:core. When we build, the aim.war file gets a copy of the
springframework:core jarfile. However, this file is also in the "ear"
project where an ear that contains all the jars and wars are packaged.
Our developers don't want the aim:web warfile to contain the
springframework:core jarfile since it is already in the overall earfile. We
know we can specifically mention the dependency on springframework:core,
then give its type as provided, but I am looking at an overall strategy: If
a warfile will contain a jarfile that is already in the ear, we don't want
it packaged in our warfile. Is that possible?
