Re: [m2e-users] How do you define provided dependencies with Webby?

[Miguel Almeida <migueldealmeida@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply Benjamin,

Could support for provided-scope dependencies be a feature that could be added? What bug system should one use to request/discuss this?

The reason I ask this is that while your approach sounds like it should work, it kind of defeats one of the advantages of using Maven (speed and simplicity of configuration). Instead of just running jetty:run, one has to download the jetty distribution, add the dependencies for that particular project to its shared libs and configure webby to use it.

Do you have any idea about my other question, i.e. if m2e supports war overlays that are opened workspace projects?

Thanks,

Miguel

Webby has no direct support for provided-scope dependencies when using an embedded Jetty server. Instead, you might want to try the following: Download a normal Jetty distribution and unpack it. Then, in your Webby launch configuration, select container type "installed" and set the container home to the directory of your Jetty installation. IIRC, droping your provided dependencies into Jetty's lib dir should then make them available to your webapp.
