How to include system dependencies in war built using maven
I've searched on 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>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
but I'm unable to understand what is to be done in case of a war build. I've tried using the maven-war plugin, but it's not including system-dependencies in the build.
[UPDATE]
I'm having depedencies of type :
<dependency>
<groupId>LoginRadius</groupId>
<artifactId>LoginRadius</artifactId>
<scope>system</scope>
<version>1.0</version>
<systemPath>${basedir}libLoginRadius-1.0.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
in my POM and these dependencies are not included in WEB-INF/lib when the war is build.
Let me try to summarise the options I tried :
<packagingIncludes>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</packagingIncludes>
This doesn't work! Also, only having the jar name, excludes everything else, so if you are willing to try then try
<packagingIncludes>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar,**/*</packagingIncludes>
Jatin's answer seemed a bit complex and I tried going through the POM again & again to figure out where exactly were the system jars mentioned to be included in WEB-INF POM.
Anyways, I ended up using this solution, which wasn't working at first but after some time and some corrections worked :
installed the jar in my local repository using the below command :
mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:UsershpDocumentsNetBeansProjectsTwitterAndLoginRadiusMavenlibLoginRadius-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>${basedir}libLoginRadius-1.0.jar</systemPath>-->
</dependency>
NOTE - See I've commented the system scope & systemPath.
Building the war now, includes this LoginRadius-1.0.jar in WEB-INF/lib
如果你的意思是jar依赖，那么下面是一个示例pom.xml，它是需要的文件并生成一个war文件：
<build>
<defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>
<sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/java</testSourceDirectory>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/target/classes</outputDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>${project.basedir}/target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<testResources>
<testResource>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/test/resources</directory>
</testResource>
</testResources>

If by chance you can't install the third party library to your local repository, due to some silly naming/packaging checks by the third party, you can still add your system scoped dependencies to your final package at build time (at least if you are building a webapp) using the maven-war-plugin where you would need to create a configuration like this.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<configuration>
<failOnMissingWebXml>true</failOnMissingWebXml>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>path/to/lib/in/project</directory>
<targetPath>WEB-INF/lib</targetPath>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Not sure but I believe that the library must be somewhere local to the project's base directory. I tend to create a directory under src/main/ called lib to hold these sorts of 3rd party libs. During build process they are placed in the correct directory and added to the war file.
