The mar goal

  The mar goal allows the following additional parameters:

*------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| Parameter name   | Default value              | Description                                    |
*------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| outputDirectory  | ${project.build.directory} | Directory where to generate the MAR file.      |
*------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| marName          | ${project.build.finalName} | The generated MAR files name.                  |
*------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| archive          |                            | A Maven archive configuration. This allows,    |
|                  |                            | for example, to configure the MANIFEST.MF      |
|                  |                            | file.                                          |

|                  |                            | generated MAR files name. Setting this         |
|                  |                            | parameter has the side effect, that the        |
|                  |                            | artifact is treated as an attachment and not   |
|                  |                            | as the projects primary artifact.              |
*------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| primaryArtifact  | true                       | Setting this property to false disables        |
|                  |                            | installation or deployment of the artifact as  |
|                  |                            | the projects primary artifact.                 |
*------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+


File Sets

  Additional file sets may be configured for inclusion into the MAR file. A file set looks
  as follows:

-----------------
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>src/mar/files</directory>
      <outputDirectory>META-INF/docs</outputDirectory>
      <includes>
        <include>**/*.html</include>
      </includes>
    </fileSet>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>src/mar/files</directory>
      <outputDirectory>META-INF/etc</outputDirectory>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>**/*.html</exclude>
      </excludes>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
-----------------

  The example specifies, that the contents of the directory src/mar/files shall
  be added to the MAR file. HTML files will go into META-INF/docs, all other
  files to META-INF/etc.

  A file set is configured through the following configuration parameters:

*---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Parameter name      | Description                                                       |

*---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
