patch to allow extra webapp and webapp/WEB-INF/classes files to be specified
that override existing files
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MWAR-22
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-22
Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Cameron Braid
Attachments: maven-war-plugin-extraWarResources.patch
Currnelty, there is no way to execute a plugin inbetween the 'build exploded
webapp' part of this plugin, and the 'zip up resources' bit.
I have the need to override classpath resources, and sometimes other webapp
resources, based on a deployment target, such as test / staging or production.
With this patch, I will be able to have files layed out like this :
/profile/test/config.properties
/src/main/resources/config.properties
then configure the war plugin :
<configuration>
<extraWebappClasses>profile/test</extraWebappClasses>
</configuration>
thus producing a war that contains profile/test/config.properties instead of
the default /src/main/resources/config.properties
I have investigated alternative ways to achive this goal, and none of them
seemed easy.
Some ideas :
* split the package phase into 2 phases - preparePackage and package
* provide a generic technique to allow plugins to expose extension points where
other plugins can hook into
* create a plugin that runs after the war plugin, that creates a new war - slow
since the ziping will need to be done twice
i'm keen to hear anyone's thoughts on the mailing list or in irc - my nick is
