Thinking about it, I think I'm talking a degree of rubbish here. A parent needs to be packaged as a pom and not a jar so even if you add a build section it's not going to work. I think you will instead need to have a new package that the parent depends on that pulls in these extra files.

Of course you could also tweak your ant script to build all of the dependencies into a jar and then deploy that as well for the mavenised build. This sounds worse IMHO because you are modifying your existing build process to create something that your normal ant build doesn't require. -----Original Message----- From: sebb [mailto:seb...@gmail.com] Sent: 23 January 2012 01:50 To: dev@jmeter.apache.org Subject: Re: Properties files in mavenised artifacts On 23 January 2012 01:03, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 22 January 2012 18:21, Mark Collin <m...@ardescosolutions.com> wrote: >> Parent sounds like a good place. >> >> Normally it would pick up things in src/main/resources, but as you >> don't have a maven directory structure I think you'll need to define >> a resource dir in the parent POM.

Sorry, but I've no idea how to make this work. All I can suggest is creating a jar containing the missing properties files (there are also some other missing files) which can be uploaded as parent. Whether that will be usable, I've no idea. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: sebb [mailto:seb...@gmail.com] >> Sent: 22 January 2012 11:42 >> To: dev@jmeter.apache.org >> Subject: Re: Properties files in mavenised artifacts >> >> On 21 January 2012 22:55, Mark Collin <m...@ardescosolutions.com> wrote: >>> I've been hunting through the mavenised artifacts available at: >>> >>> >>> >>> https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apa >>> ch >>> e/jmet >>> er/ >>> >>> >>> >>> However I cannot find the following in any package: >>> >>> >>> >>> saveservice.properties >>> >>> upgrade.properties >>> >>> system.properties >>> >>> jmeter.properties >>> >>> user.properties >>> >>> >>> >>> If I'm being blind please point me in the right direction, if I'm >>> not being blind can we get these added to an artefact, or another >>> artefact added that contains these. >>> >> >> You're right, those files are normally provided as part of the full >> binary archive, which contains quite a few files in addition to the jars. >> >> Adding them to an existing jar may cause issues for non-Maven users, >> so they need to be in a new artifact. >> Possibly change parent to be a jar? >> >> But having them in a jar would be a bit of a pain. >> How do Maven applications manage configuration files normally? >> >>> >>> >>> ------------------------------------------ >>> >>> Mark Collin >>> >>> Managing Director >>> >>> Ardesco Solutions Ltd >>> >>> >>> >>> <mailto:m...@ardescosolutions.com> m...@ardescosolutions.com >>> >>> >>> >>> Registered Office: >>> >>> The Coachhouse >>> >>> Greys Green Business Centre >>> >>> Henley-on-Thames >>> >>> Oxon >>> >>> RG9 4QG >>> >>> >>> >>> REGISTERED IN ENGLAND NO. 4837759 >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> This message contains confidential information and is intended only >>> for >> the individual named.
