Description

Currently the war plugin sets a reference that is used by install and deploy to know which file to work on. This is troublesome for running multiple executions. Would be nice if it was an option to turn this off so war could be run in an execution without messing with the normal lifecycle.

<build>
<finalName>cdr-ui</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>*/.jar</excludes>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default</id>
<goals>
<goal>war</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<excludes>.dontcare</excludes>
<warName>test</warName>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>

Something like above will generate 2 wars, but unexpectedly, the install and deploy pick up the test.war no the one named using <finalName>
