I have a collaborative project that is a webapp being deployed to a Glassfish installation.
The project depends on an external dependency. This dependency is a system level dependency for the following reasons
- Using mvn install isn't workable as it's a collaborative project
- We don't have access to a shared repository manager such as Nexus
So I am attempting to run the webapp on Glassfish via eclipse, during the start up of Glassfish I see the following messages
2015-12-01T15:39:20.518+0000|Info: WELD-000119: Not generating any bean definitions from uk.xxx.AppProducer because of underlying class loading error: Type uk.xxx.dao.CouchbaseFormDAO not found. If this is unexpected, enable DEBUG logging to see the full error. 2015-12-01T15:39:20.590+0000|Info: WELD-000119: Not generating any bean definitions from uk.xxx.controller.FormController because of underlying class loading error: Type uk.xxx.service.CouchbaseServiceException not found. If this is unexpected, enable DEBUG logging to see the full error. 2
These missing classes are part of this maven system dependency. Is there some additional maven plugin configuration I need to do?
I have the following in my pom
<dependency>
<groupId>uk.xxx</groupId>
<artifactId>data-access</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.build.directory}/../src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/data-access.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
As well as these plugins
<plugins>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
