How to get Maven to run war:exploded but not war:war

Question

I have a Maven pom that uses war. But actually, I don\'t want build the war-file, I just want all the dependent jars collect

Answer 1

According builtin lifecycle bindings for war packaging in package phase war:war mojo is called.

You can call previous 'prepare-package' phase - all actions will be performed and after that call mojo war:exploded

mvn prepare-package war:exploded

The results will be the same as yours but no war created.
