Warbler configuration

Warbler is so simple and powerful to package all files you need for a Rails application into a war. However, you may want to customize how warbler packages the war file because you may not want to deploy a tens mega-bytes war file every time and you Rails application is very small. I just thinner my 36MB war file to 1MB by removing all slow-changed dependent jars and gems. Of course, doing so you have to have some additional steps to maintain the dependencies.

1. Three jars in WEB-INF/lib, jruby-core, jruby-rack and jruby-stdlib, use 12MB
2. All rails dependent gems may use 6MB

And all the above files are not changed too frequently.

1. How to exclude all dependent gems in war

config.gem_dependencies = false

2. How to exclude jruby jars

config.java_libs = []
