Include other folders besides WEB-INF/classes in Maven Jar file?

My pom.xml looks like this (note I'm building a JAR as well as a WAR):

            ...
            <packaging>war</packaging>
            ...
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.1.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <containerConfigXML>src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml</containerConfigXML>
                    <archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>
                    <attachClasses>true</attachClasses>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

However, the generated JAR only includes the classes in WEB-INF/classes. How can I get the JAR to include the classes in src/main/java/com/... etc as well - without having to add all the classes to the WEB-INF directory?

Thanks!

Fixed by removing the archiveClasses node from the above code sample. New pom.xml looks like this:

            ...
            <packaging>war</packaging>
            ...
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.1.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <containerConfigXML>src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml</containerConfigXML>
                    <attachClasses>true</attachClasses>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Now the generated JAR includes all classes, not just those in WEB-INF/classes

Generally if your resources are configured correctly (or standard layout) you should just be able to run

mvn package

Which should generate the jar file in your target directory.

Hope this helps.
