Question

i have a problem with maven built .war file.

i have a dependency on project’s POM which has the provided scope.

when for first time i try to run “package” goal on my project, maven does not
insert dependent jar file into final .war file.

and as i expected, when i remove the provided scope form the POM, maven includes dependent
jar file on final .war file (it is correct until this point).

but when i set provided scope for dependency again, maven still includes the dependent jar file in war package.!!!

i have tried clean:clean goal and also update snapshot switch
but it still goes wrong.

is it a bug? or i must do some configuration to avoid this.

i am using maven 3.0.3

this is POM:

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Which war are you looking at? Running mvn clean package will build a new war in your target directory, and that war won’t have any dependency in it whose scope is provided.
