I've searched on the Internet for quite some time, and I'm unable to figure out how to configure the maven-war plugin or something alike so that the system dependencies are included in the built-war (WEB-INF/lib folder).
I use the Maven dependency plugin in case of a JAR build as:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
But I'm unable to understand what is to be done in case of a WAR build. I've tried using the maven-war plugin, but it's not including system dependencies in the build.
I'm having dependencies of type:
<dependency>
<groupId>LoginRadius</groupId>
<artifactId>LoginRadius</artifactId>
<scope>system</scope>
<version>1.0</version>
<systemPath>${basedir}\lib\LoginRadius-1.0.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
in my POM file, and these dependencies are not included in WEB-INF/lib when the WAR file is build.
Let me try to summarise the options I tried:
<packagingIncludes>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</packagingIncludes>
This doesn't work! Also, only having the JAR file name, excludes everything else, so if you are willing to try then try
<packagingIncludes>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar,**/*</packagingIncludes>
Jatin's answer seemed a bit complex, and I tried going through the POM file again and again to figure out where exactly were the system JAR files mentioned to be included in WEB-INF POM.
Anyway, I ended up using this solution, which wasn't working at first, but after some time and some corrections worked:
I installed the JAR file in my local repository using the below command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:\Users\hp\Documents\NetBeansProjects\TwitterAndLoginRadiusMaven\lib\LoginRadius-1.0.jar" -DgroupId=LoginRadius -DartifactId=LoginRadius -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar`
After running the above command, I changed the dependency in POM to:
<dependency>
<groupId>LoginRadius</groupId>
<artifactId>LoginRadius</artifactId>
<!--<scope>system</scope>-->
<version>1.0</version>
<!--<systemPath>${basedir}\lib\LoginRadius-1.0.jar</systemPath>-->
</dependency>
NOTE - See I've commented the system scope and systemPath.
Building the WAR file now, includes this LoginRadius-1.0.jar file in WEB-INF/lib.
