Re: How to properly use filtering on resources.
So what is the proper way to do the following:
1) Filter a config file to put the properties in place
2) Copy the file to the target directory and rename it
For example: I have a property file called hibernate.conf.tmpl.xml and
I want it to be filtered and then copied as hibernate.conf.xml
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to know the name of the file ahead of
time...
Thanks,
Rick

Double check your resource set matches the one copied, and that it
doesn't overlap with another one defined to contain the same files
without filtering.

That's not from Maven - search your project.xml, maven.xml and
project.properties files, including any you inherit from using
extend/.
I'm now using :
preGoal name=java:jar-resources
ant:filter
filtersfile=config/environnement/${platform}.conf /
copy todir=target/classes filtering=false
overwrite=true
fileset dir=config/template /
/copy
/preGoal
This is equivalent to using the resources, however will not allow
other parts of Maven (eg the IDE plugins) to see where you reosources
are.

Re: How to properly use filtering on resources.
Ok, I've been reading lots of jelly this morning... now I have a clear
understanding of what exactly my question is :-)
So, I have the following preGoal:
preGoal name=java:jar-resources
ant:filter filtersfile=${basedir}/conf/configuration.properties /
/preGoal
I have 1 file being filtered:
resources
resource
directoryconf/directory
includes
include*.tmpl.xml/include
/includes
filteringtrue/filtering
/resource
/resources
Ok, now what happens here is that the resource hibernate.conf.tmpl.xml
gets filtered and copied into target/clasess just fine, but I want it
to be renamed.
The confusing part is this: I looked at the java:jar-resources jelly
and it looks like all it does is peek at the pom.build.resources,
applies the filename filtering, and copies the files.
goal name=java:jar-resources
description=Copy any resources that must be present in the
deployed JAR
file
j:if test=${!pom.build.resources.isEmpty()}
maven:copy-resources
resources=${pom.build.resources}
todir=${maven.build.dest}/
/j:if
/goal
So here's my question: (I know you've all been waiting...) Where do the
filtered resources go before they are copied? There is no copy kept in
my conf directory... after the preGoal is executed and the ant:filter
happens, where do the files go? Are they kept in the build object as
StringBuffers or File objects?
I'm tempted to edit these in their temporary living quarters, seems
like if I stepped in after the filtering, before the jar:resources
copy-resources tag is executed I could simply rename the output file
and everything would be great...
Thanks, in the very least I'm learning a lot about the internals of
maven :-)

Many thanks, you made me look at the right place : my filtering/ was not
at the right place : child node of include/ instead of resource/...
2) Maven always try to load a file named some.properties ?!
That's not from Maven - search your project.xml, maven.xml and
project.properties files, including any you inherit from using
extend/.
You're right. I didn't know that
extend../otherproject/project.xml/extend also extend maven.xml of
otherproject !
I'm now using :
preGoal name=java:jar-resources
ant:filter filtersfile=config/environnement/${platform}.conf
/ copy todir=target/classes filtering=false overwrite=true
fileset dir=config/template /
/copy
/preGoal
This is equivalent to using the resources, however will not allow
other parts of Maven (eg the IDE plugins) to see where you reosources
are.
That's why I was asking another way to do this :)
Have a good day,
