Hi,
The <classifier> feature appears not to be supported by the WAR plugin. Has
anyone got this working?

I always see an installed artifact of the form: [finalname]-[version].war
I'm expecting to see: [finalname]-[version][classifier].war

My pom.xml contains the following:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<configuration>
<classifier>foobar</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>

If I run maven with "--debug" I see no reference to "foobar" in the output.

All help appreciated as use of classifier is essential to build for dev,
stage and live etc.
Regards,
Shaun.

Classifier goes in the top of your XML file, next to artifactId and
groupId, not down in the war plugin configuration. At least, that's
where I've put it when I've used it on some Jar files.

Give that a try.

Hi all,
I've proven now that <classifier> works with Jars packaging but foes NOT
with WAR packaging:
I can see that when using the following config the WAR plugin is configured
with the warName and outputDirectory but NOT the classifier:

Is this just a bug in the WAR plugin then?

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classifier>fred</classifier>
<warName>The WAR</warName>
<outputDirectory>outputDir</outputDirectory>
</configuration>

</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

[DEBUG] Configuring mojo
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.0-beta-2:war' -->
[DEBUG] (s) classesDirectory = c:\temp\my-webapp\target\classes
[DEBUG] (f) outputDirectory = outputDir
[DEBUG] (s) project = ***@d0fee35f
[DEBUG] (f) warName = The WAR
[DEBUG] (s) warSourceDirectory = c:\temp\my-webapp\src\main\webapp
[DEBUG] (s) webappDirectory =
c:\temp\my-webapp\target\my-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT

All help appreciated.
Regards,
Shaun.

Solved.
I checked out and built the latest maven-war-plugin and the issue is now
resolved.
Looks like a bug in version maven-war-plugin:2.0-beta-2.
Regards,
Shaun.
