Hi all, i stumbled recently in an interesting problem:
the setup: i have a WAR project (call it "base") that simply holds shared resources (non-Java mainly) for a webapp, and another (call it "flavour") which is the "final" WAR artifact, just as described here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-overlay.html I _have_ overlapping files (just like web.xml in example) which bothers me, like Spring applicationContext.xml. Just to note: The project does not make use of profiles, local settings.xmlor whatsoever "local" setup, everything is in POM, that comes from SVN. Both machines are direct connected to net, no http-proxy, no Proximity, no maven-proxy - just Maven 2.0.4. Both machines uses JDK 1.5.0_07, both are i386, both are Linux(!) etc. etc. But: When I build on one machine (SuSE), Maven2 behaves just as I thought, it had "overwritten" the "base" overlapping files with "flavour" ones. When I build on other machine (Linux, Fedora), Maven2 consistently behaves just opposite! It consistently overwrites the "flavour" with "base" files! I'm am playing with this a while. After this happened, I executed $ mvn -U clean install from project root on both machines, the Fedora got updated with new WAR plugin (!) (and some checksum problems from repo1 but M2 ignored it) but it _still_ produces the same effect. On SuSE the WAR overlay behaves "as i expect from it" and on Fedora on reverse! Ideas? Thanx in advance, ~t~
