In this short article we would like to show how to include external JAR library into WAR.

In order to do it we need to add maven-war-plugin to our pom.xml. If we have defined this plugin already in pom.xml then we need to check for webResources part of below xml plugin config.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <configuration>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
        <webResources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${project.basedir}/external_libs</directory>
                <targetPath>WEB-INF/lib</targetPath>
                <filtering>false</filtering>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.jar</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </webResources>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
