One of the nice things about maven projects is that you download them and they just work.
Assuming the dictionary source files are already broken down by letters of the alphabet, then the following 5 lines of code does most of it. (Note that the sed scripts are pretty close to just a line by line trim() and, of course, you may need to sort the file names.) <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy.maven</groupId> <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <phase>generate-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>execute</goal> </goals> <configuration> <source> <![CDATA[ new File( "target" ).mkdirs(); def resultfile = new File( "target/dictionary" ); new File("src/main/dictionary").eachFileMatch(~/.*\.lst/){ file -> file.readLines().sort().each(){resultfile << it.trim() + "\n";} } ]]> </source> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Stan --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
