Maven: Let SkinnyWars preserve some libraries

Vote count: 0

I am using maven to build an ear file with two EJBs and a few web applications. I'd like to use skinny wars, because more wars are likely to follow.

As I understood, the following will remove all *.jar files (except ejb jars) from the WEB-INF/lib directory of all war files:

 <configuration>
      <version>7</version>
      <defaultLitBundleDir>lib/</defaultLitBundleDir>
      <skinnyWars>true</skinnyWars>
  [...]

The problem I have is that will obviously also remove all webjars. Webjars are web libraries (css, JS, etc.) which are packaged inside jar files like this:

With any Servlet 3 compatible container, the WebJars that are in the WEB-INF/lib directory are automatically made available as static resources. This works because anything in a META-INF/resources directory in a JAR in WEB-INF/lib is automatically exposed as a static resource.

I really like this idea. So now, when all jars are moved to myear!/lib/webjar, the containing files are not exposed anymore. :-(

I haven't found an option for skinnyWars to NOT exclude certain libraries (like org.webjars::).

If there is another solution, I'd love to see your input.
