Modifying a CSS file with Groovy in target before packaged into WAR
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get my Groovy code to execute after my CSS files has been copied from /src to /target, but *before* the content is packaged from /target into the WAR file. Any hint on where to add this into the pom.xml?!?

Exactly what folder do you have your css files in? /Anders On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 9:30 AM, Cagecurrent p...@cagecurrent.com wrote: Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get my Groovy code to execute after my CSS files has been copied from /src to /target, but *before* the content is packaged from /target into the WAR file.

Have a look at the war lifecycle, you'll see that there is only one goal
that does the copying from src/main/webapp to target/${finalName} and that
is the war:war goal which does the copy and zip in one step.

Stephen, so you mean that I *can't* add anything in the middle of that? Or can I override the normal process?

Re: Modifying a CSS file with Groovy in target before packaged into WAR
You can't. Those files are copied and package in one go. If you explain what you want to do, without including a solution you think is right, we can probably help you. I think you're trying to modifying the css files through executing a groovy script, is that right? /Anders On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 10:20 AM, Cagecurrent p...@cagecurrent.com wrote: Stephen, so you mean that I *can't* add anything in the middle of that?

Re: Modifying a CSS file with Groovy in target before packaged into WAR
Yes, I want to be able to use Groovy to modify the image references in the CSS, but *not* in the /src directory as that is in subversion. The change I'm doing is to be able to increase the caching times for the images. So for example I would replace the image reference url(/images/myimage.png) with url(/images/myimage~r2323.png). This way I can have really long caching times for the images without having to manually change the name of the image. The ~r2323 will be removed in a rewrite in the proxy, so the image myimage.png will still be served from the server. But as I said, I don't want to modify the CSS in the /src folder as it will make subversion so it as edited. So the plan is to modify the version of the CSS file once it's been copied over the /target folder, but it needs to be done before the WAR is created.

Re: Modifying a CSS file with Groovy in target before packaged into WAR
What you want to do is move the css out of src/main/webapp to e.g.
src/processed/webapp
Then you bind the groovy step for processing to the prepare-package phase
(or any earlier one either) putting the processed files in
target/generated-webapp/groovy/... and use
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-mojo.html#webResourcesto
add the target/generated-webapp/groovy directory that you've put the
processed CSS files into back into the list of files that should be
packaged into the war file.
Warning: side-effect is that jetty:run will no longer have the CSS files.
jetty:run-exploded will work, but you cannot live-edit the source files
An alternative is to use a second webapp module to do the CSS processing
between the exploding and repacking steps. Has the advantage of letting
jetty:run continue to work.
An alternative is to use resource filtering rather than Groovy to filter
the CSS file.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html
you'd have in your CSS file something like
url(/images/myimage${image-revision}.png) and have the war plugin filter
CSS files so that the image-revision property gets substituted directly.
Jetty:run may still have issues, but you've used standard maven tech to get
to your end-game
