Ok, finally found the right page of the plugin docs with the info I needed. I do stand by my comment about the documentation, within the limited scope of the parameters page... a lot of them are documented like they're self-explanatory, but if you're not familiar with the workings of the plugin, they're anything but. Even little touches like having the overlays parameter's documentation link to the overlays explanation page would be helpful.
I don't suppose there's a wiki or something that the documents are generated from that I could go to and add that, is there? I may not know enough yet to seriously contribute to the documents, but I can manage small chores like cross-referencing. ;) Anyway, thanks for the link, Wayne. ~Dan Allen -----Original Message----- From: Allen, Daniel Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 11:58 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: RE: [m2] Filtering web.xml? Nevermind about the overlays; I found a docs page on that. -----Original Message----- From: Allen, Daniel Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 11:08 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: RE: [m2] Filtering web.xml? Wayne: I thought having <packaging>war</packaging> in your pom.xml was a shortcut to calling war:war, with Maven filling in the requried parameters. If I'm wrong about that, what's the difference? Just more elaborate customizability with war:war? Also, the plugin documentation is a little sparse, so I'm not sure which of these parameters will help me. I see that you can specify the location of webXML, and I see that there's a filters parameter, but Maven already knows where web.xml is, and puts it in the right spot by default; it only gets confused and misplaces the file when I try to use filters. Also, the documentation for Fitlers only says it's used in "interpolation of the pom.xml," whereas I need to filter web.xml. Thanks, ~Dan Allen PS: What's an "overlay?" That sounds potentially useful, but the parameter Overlays is just explained as "specifies overlays." -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Fay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 6:36 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [m2] Filtering web.xml? The war plugin has a configuration you can use for this <webXml>: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-mojo.html That should do it...
