Can we write a custom webapp plugin that uses the war plugin and its configruation?
I am trying to create a new plugin webapp with two goals clean and refresh to extend the functionality of the maven-war-plugin. webapp:clean would clean the webappDirectory and webapp:refresh would refresh the warSourceDirectory and apply modifications to the webappDirectory (similar to war:exploded but doesn't proces the source directory) skipping the web.xml (guessed it right, hotdeploy for jsp's, tags, images alone) and ofcourse use the configuration defined in maven-war-plugin as it is like any filtering, blah blah, without . The way i am hoping to achieve this is,get hold of the maven-war-plugin instance based on the project pom somehow and invoke custom methods with in that Mojo. I don't know if there is a way to do the first part? I have digged through the users forum and the tutorials/blogs available on maven plugin development. However, i couldn't find a good example that i can refer to in my situation. I am not experience plugin writer (infact this is the first onmy own, apart from the standard hello world examples).

Re: Can we write a custom webapp plugin that uses the war plugin and its configruation?
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried this plugin earlier thats not what i
wanted. This plugin reads the metadata information of the plugin at compile
time. I need something that can read the configuration of from the pom for
maven-war-plugin (if no configuration specified, take defaults), and provide
them to my custom plugin. To give an example, below is the current
configuration we have in our web application.
pom.xml
...
...
plugins
plugin
groupIdorg.apache.maven.plugins/groupId
artifactIdmaven-war-plugin/artifactId
configuration
warSourceDirectorysrc/webapp/warSourceDirectory
webappDirectory${jboss.expldoed}/webappDirectory
filters
filtersrc/main/filters/${filter}.properties/filter
/filters
webResources
resource
directorysrc/webapp/WEB-INF/directory
filteringtrue/filtering
includes
includetabconfig.xml/include
/includes
/resource
/webResources
/configuration
/plugin
...
...
/pom
When i use my custom goal webapp:refresh - i would like to refresh the
webapp directory alone using the above configuration. I would really not
like to redefined this configuration again for my custom plugin of the pom.

RE: webapp plugin
Hi, thanks for your replies Jochen.
The filtering we do on the js and jsp scans a template version of the
files for xml like tags in order to include/drop code sections depending
on the role desired (not ideal I think but that's how it is). So far as
I understand Maven filtering it is more like a substitution mechanism.
We already have our filter packaged as a plugin, I don't want a
rewrite.
I started looking at the resources phase, but the existing one just
seems to put resources into the classes directory, and is evidently
aimed at properties files and such. Thanks a lot for your tip, I hope I
can figure out how to use it, it looks just like what I need.
Regards,
John

The authoritative source is the maven war plugins documentation, which clearly indicates, that you may configure additional resource directories. In other words, the process is follows: - Configure your plugin to run in the generate-resources phase and let it create a directory below target. - Configure the maven-war-plugin (which runs in the package phase, which is definitely later) to pick up your generated directories contents and include it into the webapp. I'll refrain from further comments.

webapp plugin
Hi,
I have developed a plugin that filters js and jsp files to customize
them prior to packaging.
I was going to bind the plugin to the package phase but it would make
more sense to apply the filtering during the copy of the webapp
directory to the target. If I apply during the package phase then the
plugin will replace the unfiltered files copied in during the earlier
copy phase. This seems a bit wasteful.
The plugin also expects 2 parameters, these being the source directory
and the target directory.
Which phase should I bind to, and are there any properties that I can
use to default the source and target. I tried ${maven.war.src} and
${maven.war.webapp.dir}, but they are null so perhaps they are Maven1
only?
TIA
