This is all theory... Perhaps while writing the docs, someone involved with Maven development thought it might be useful to have a src/main/config directory and so it was included in docs, but since it was never implemented in the code, it is not being used today.
Perhaps file a JIRA bug and request that references to this config directory be removed if it is not actually being used, or ask for clarification on the proper usage of the directory, etc. Wayne On 6/8/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've seen all the reference information on it as well however Maven 2.X appears to completely ignore that directory...so I really don't understand what its real purpose is. So say I store application configuration files in there...now what? Maven doesn't read them or treat it as a source directory. The directory doesn't show up on the classpath so the application or test classes can't read anything in it. Packing doesn't package that dir so nothing in it will end up in any of your jar files. Assemblies don't assemble the dir so it won't end up in any of your assemblies. What else is there? Nothing in Maven seems to do anything with that directory so why is it a standard directory? -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Fay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 11:17 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: uses for config directory? Found a reference to src/main/config in the Better Builds with Maven book (pg 273): src/main/config/ Standard location for application configuration files. So I guess you'd use that directory for application configuration files. But I have never personally used it, as of this point.
