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

The solution is quite simple. You need to override the default execution of the war plugin to disable it and add your own execution (for exploded):

    
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-war-plugin
                
                    
                        default-war
                        none
                    
                    
                        war-exploded
                        package
                        
                            exploded
