Maven-php-dependency include behavior

[marcinant]

I would like to create project with following structure:

/lib/somelibrary-1.phar
/lib/somelibrary-2.phar
...
index.php
somepage.php

I created 3 projects.

1. somelibrary-1 using php-library archetype
2. somelibrary-2 -"-
3. website using php-webapp archetype.

In website/pom.xml I added somelibrary-1 and somelibrary-2 as dependencies.

As result they are unpacked to target/php-deps

This is not what I want. So, following this tutorial:

http://www.php-maven.org/tags/2.0.2/tut-dependencymanagement.html
Which states:
"The include action tells maven to not extract the phar file but instead put it on php include path."
I added to website/pom.xml

    <groupId>org.phpmaven</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-php-dependency</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.test</groupId>
                <artifactId>somelibrary-1</artifactId>
                <actions>
                    <include/>
                </actions>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Unfortunately it doesn't work as I expected.
As result dependency is not visible in target/php-deps and is not available anwyhere in target dir!
Info says that "will be added on include path".
But what does it mean?
Is there any way to bundle unextracted phar with webapplication?

Hi, you should use for your purpose the maven-assembly plugin to build a tar.gz (for exemple) from tous source, and inject dependencies in your tar.gz (do not put extract action for your .phar deps, it will fail otherwise).

For our project, here is our 'webappassembly descriptor' 👍
