I expect the maven-dependency-plugin would copy all the dependencies to the WebContent/WEB-INF/lib but when I run
mvn clean install

I noticed the WEB-INF/lib folder is always empty, maven dependencies are not copied over.
I am suspecting the copy-dependencies plugin didn't get run before the compile stage but I can't really figure out - anything that I missed?
file:///...
which does not make sense, cause the war plugin will automatically pack all dependencies intoWEB-INF/lib
folder automatically.. If you are getting all the jars' from the lib folder to be used as part of your build this is going beyond the idea of Maven... – khmarbaise
