I'd like to create a war file from a directory, in which all external libraries listed in a file have to be included. The filepaths to this libraries have to be absolute, so I can suppress any restrictions on where libaries have to be stored.

I've tried it with the filesinclude attribute in a element, but the problem is, that I have to specify a base directory.

On Unix a slash could work, but on windows, there is no character to define a all-drive path.

Has anyone a could idea?

As far as I know, the paths of files stored in a WAR file are relative to the web application location. Are you trying to deploy JAR files in a central location? I don't believe this is possible inside a WAR file.

But, if it helps, the task inherits from the task, so it has the capabilities present on as well.
