Mixing
Packaging separate jar file to war file in maven
I have created a web application using Java. According to the design, I have created a plugin for that web application.
When I am releasing the package, I want to package that plugin's jar file in to the "WEB-INF/lib" directory.
I am just copying the jar file manually. Instead of that, are there any capabilities to handle those things using maven? I don't want to add that plugin in to the web application as a dependancy.

Why not adding it as a dependency cause you want to have it in lib directory?

I added web application as a dependancy to the plugin. If I have done vise versa, there would be a cyclic dependancy. I want to overcome that also.

A web application can't be used as a dependency (We are talking about a WAR file?) ...having a cyclic dependency you need to refactor your modules...but without pom files nor a directory structure nobody can help here...

You can specify it within the maven war plugin. Please see below.
Let
jar file -> jarfile.jar
jar file path -> jarFilePath ( with reference to base dir )
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<!--jarfile.jar file in to the WEB-INF/lib folder -->
<resource>
<directory>jarFilePath</directory>
<includes>
<include>jarfile.jar</include>
</includes>
<targetPath>WEB-INF/lib</targetPath>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
