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 On 12 February 2013 09:43, Cagecurrent <p...@cagecurrent.com> wrote: > 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.
