Hi Mick, The problem is not with my filter file, its with the fact that the resources filtering is coupled with the copy to target dir. I cannot just ask to filter and copy to a custom location; it has to be copied to the target dir. The workaround I was looking at is have a separate project that filters, copy to target and then deploy as a straight XML file but for this to work I need a feature such as a <packaging>xml</packaging> instead of <packaging>jar</packaging>. Does a similar feature exist in maven or with the use of a plugin ? Thanks, -Guillaume
