Maven module for static files

问题

I have a web application with spring and maven. The application is divided into maven modules. I have an "application-web" module that generates war. Another "application-ear" module that generates an ear. And another "application-static" with css, js and images that generates a zip file.

This would be the outline of my application:

application
- application-web (java code)
- application-ear
- application-static (css, js and images)
- application-resources (language properties)

I want to deploy the eclipse use files of "static" module, instead of using the files in the "application/src/main/webapp" directory. How can I do this? It is possible?

Don't waste your time with unpacking resources, everything works out of the box:

Resource bundles: the are always loaded from the classpath, regardlessly it is exploded (WEB-INF/classes) or compressed (WEB-INF/lib)
Serving static resources: bundle them up in a JAR and use either Tomcat (Servlet 3.0) feature to serve from META-INF/resources, see here or use Spring's built in mvc:resources element.

Simply add the dependency snippets in your WAR POM and your are done.

You can use the maven dependency plugin to unpack your static resources included in the zip file using the following:

In your application-web.pom

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>unpack-resources</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <configuration>
                <outputDirectory>resources</outputDirectory>
                <includeArtifactIds>application-static</includeArtifactIds>
                <includeGroupIds>your group id</includeGroupIds>
                <includes>**/*.js,**/*.css</includes>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin

This work:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.10</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>unpack-dependencies</id>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <excludeTypes>pom</excludeTypes>
                        <includeArtifactIds>application-static</includeArtifactIds>
                        <includeGroupIds>com.foo.foo.application</includeGroupIds>
                        <outputDirectory>src/main/webapp</outputDirectory>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</build>

But I have another problem, with this solution only copy the static files when I execute clean package. If I run the application-web with eclipse and I do changes in a js file in application-static, the changes have no effect until I execute clean package. Any solution for this?
