Hello Jeff,
Sorry about the example, the correct one should be
<configuration>
<webResources>
[...]
<resource>
<directory>configurations</directory>
<!-- override the destination directory for this resource -->
<targetPath>WEB-INF</targetPath>
<!-- enable filtering -->
<filtering>true</filtering>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/properties<exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
it's webResources/resource. So far I can only assure you that the
targetPath configuration
will only work in 2.1-SNAPSHOT. I'm not sure if the targetPath patch was
applied to the
2.0 series.
If you have the time you can get the source and built the latest war
plugin from the trunk.
---
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-war-plugin
cd maven-war-plugin
mvn install
---
btw, if you decide to use the build/resources/resource configuration
make sure you use the package phase
instead of directly invoking the war goal. Resource processing is not
covered by the war plugin.
Just do mvn package just to be sure.
hope this helps,
pete marvin
