Vincent Massol Fix for MAVEN-986. Allow resources to be copied when no sources present Use the new caller plugin to isolate the java compilation goal called from its implementation. Apply MAVEN-831. Copy web.xml as specified by ${maven.war.webxml} Add test project Added maven.war.index property. Accept includes/excludes patterns over maven.war.src. Allow webapp creation if project doesn't have sources. Added war:clean goal war:war goal is simply packaging (using ant jar task) the directory created by war:webapp goal. This change simplifies the customization of processing and removes code duplication. Fixes for MAVEN-481. Bundling of tlds in war is supported. Fixes for MAVEN-518. Artifact processing in the plugin was slightly changed and now it supports jar overriding mechanism Added deploy, deploy-snapshot and install-snapshot goals Allow war file to be updated Fixed the broken war goal Moved the detection of the webSources inside the 'war:war' goal itself so that webSource can be assembled on the fly. With the detection outside the 'war:war' goal webSources would not be gathered into the resulting WAR file. Added support for WARs that contain only java classes and no web resources.
