title: Maven war plugin, not getting dependencies from parent pom
body: <p>My objective is to include a war to another war.
  See My Project structure:</p>
  
  <p>+test-parent (here goes all common dependencies for spring &amp; hibernate framework)
  -- test-core (the collection of all common classes type:jar)
  -- test-web (the webapp which should run as individual webapp, depends on test-core, type:war)
  -- test-web-2 (the webapp which depends on test-web,test-core, type:war)</p>
  
  <p>I have used maven war plugin to achieve this.</p>

  <p>As my test-web-2 depends on test-web, I want to merge all classes,resources in test-web-2. when I run <code>mvn install</code> my all builds are successful, but when I run test-web or test-web-2 on server, it has no lib folder under WEB-INF with all required spring jars from parent.</p>
  
  <p>I have given package &amp; jsp file names different in both projects. I am even able to see the proper merged build as required.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get this lib folder generated in both test-web &amp; test-web-2 project with all dependent jars from parent?</p>
