Hey David,
so I have tried to reproduce your test scenario but for some reason I still
have the same problem. In the following is the code of pom.xml:
folder structure:
files to copy:::
src/main/Customer/web.xml
src/main/Customer/WEB-INF/config/cd.xml
src/main/Customer/WEB-INF/config/config.properties
files to overwrite:::
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config/cd.xml
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config/config.properties
<profile>
<id>customer1</id>
<properties>
<config.setPath>Customer</config.setPath>
<webXML>src/main/Customer/web.xml</webXML>
</properties>
</profile>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<webXml>${webXML}</webXml>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/${config.setPath}</directory>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Well right now I can't see any remarkable difference between your code and
mine, have you tried out what happens if you don't use the
<warSourceDirectory>webapp</warSourceDirectory> and especially if it still
works correct if you have two files in your default WEB-INF but you only want
to overwrite one of the files?
thx in advance
