Hi all,
I have noticed that when I build GeoServer locally (‘mvn install’) I end up with a small web-app-(VERSION).jar in my local maven repository. But the one on the repository is quite large. On inspection, it appears to include all the resources that would go into the GeoServer WAR file. Is this intended? Should I be building differently to be consistent with the public repository?
GeoNode is currently listing web-app as a dependency, but if those JAR files contain all of geoserver then it will effectively double the file size of our WARs.

I noticed that too time ago, see this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/geoserver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15236.html
As far as I understand this is not normal, but more of a side effect of how we handle
the release packaging.
That said, when I prepare a web app based on geoserver I don’t depend on web-app,
I copy it and alter it instead so that I can cherry-pick only the parts I want, which is
the spirit of the mail thread above
Cheers
Andrea

Yes, this has come up before and its because the web-app module doesn’t use war packaging but still performs a war execution on install. We tried changing that before and I can’t remember why but it caused something else to fail, so we changed it back.
