    Description

      If I use "provided" the dependencies will never be included, my problem is
      1. projects:
      my-jar
      rar1: dependency to my-jar
      rar2: dependency to my-jar
      ejb1: dependency to my-jar
      ear: dependency to rar1, rar2. ejb1
      2. inside the ear:
      ejb1.jar
      rar1.rar
      rar2.rar
      lib/my-jar.jar
      3. This works fine for packaging=ejb - the my-jar.jar gets copied to the lib dir during build of
      the ear. But the same jar gets also packaged in the rar1 and in the rar2 archive. So I have it
      three times instead only having the entries in MANFIFEST.MF/Class-Path and the jar only
      once in the lib subdir.
      The Manifest entries are not the problem, to get the jar not packaged in the rars is my
      problem.

      4. my proposal:
      add plugin configuration parameter <includeDependencies>false</includeDependencies>

      in RarMojo.java additional parameter and check:

      /**

      • Specify if the specified dependencies of this project should be
      • included in the rar file ; default is true.
        *
      • @parameter
        */
        private Boolean includeDependencies = Boolean.TRUE;

      ....
      // Copy dependencies
      try
      {
      if (includeDependencies.booleanValue()) { // additional check

      carsten
