Maven WAR plugin does not read configuration when running in <execute> tag
I am trying to get Maven to do multiple executions with a WAR plugin. It works great if defined like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<configuration>
(...)
</configuration>
But not like this
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
(...)
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Where Maven cannot find any resources defined in the tag <configuration>
. Am I missing something important and / or is there a better way to create multiple WAR files in the same assembly?

I haven't seen how to disable the default war, but you can use one config outside the element <executions>
and the rest inside:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1-beta-1</version>
<configuration>
<classifier>with-junk</classifier>
<!-- temp directory that the webapp is assembled in (each must be different) -->
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/build-with-junk</webappDirectory>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>junk</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-other-junk</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>war</goal>
</goals>
<!-- exclude prior configuration -->
<inherited>false</inherited>
<configuration>
<classifier>with-other-junk</classifier>
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/build-other-junk</webappDirectory>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>other-junk</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
For me this will build artifact-0.1-with-junk.war
and artifact-0.1-with-other-junk.war
and both have the correct files.

The second version only applies the configuration to the phase you specified. I can't confirm this right now, but I would assume it doesn't apply because you didn't specify a target for the config to apply to.
If you add a target definition war
to an execution, will it be applied? For example:
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>war</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
(...)
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
