I am running 5.8 and downloaded the HF08 patch and was able to run nuxeoctl pack to create the zip file. I had preconfigured the install with my custom content types jar and installed to plugins. After deploying the static war I do not see the custom content types nor my plugin jar file. I tried domain_home/lib but.
Where do plugins get deployed in the static war deployment model?
Your issue is using the "plugins" directory (NXP-10226). Place your custom bundles into the "bundles" directory instead (both directories are equivalent, only purposed to ease file management with a physical separation between default and custom plugins).
plugins
bundles
In the static WAR, all JARs (Nuxeo bundles and libraries) are deployed in "webapps/nuxeo/WEB-INF/lib/". /> Since NXP-13729, there will be a "webapps/nuxeo/WEB-INF/.nuxeo-bundles" file listing the Nuxeo bundles detected and processed while generating the WAR.
webapps/nuxeo/WEB-INF/lib/
webapps/nuxeo/WEB-INF/.nuxeo-bundles
