One way to attach this to (say) the process-resources phase is: <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy.maven</groupId> <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-rc-3</version> <executions> <execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase> <goals> <goal>execute</goal> </goals> <configuration> <source> <![CDATA[ def target = new File( "target" , "newdata" ); target.mkdirs(); def source = new File( "src/main/data" ); source.eachFile( ) { file -> def process = "cmd /c copy ${file} ${target}".execute(); println "result: ${process.text}"; } ]]> </source> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Of course, replace the text of the process command line by the command of your choice, an ant exec task, or just invoke the java class directly providing that a suitable jar is in the plugin dependency list.

I have a java program which takes an input-file and output-file as parameters. I need to run this for a set of files in a directory. How can I best achieve this with Maven? I have looked at the Exec Maven plugin and as per http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/usage.html I can use this to run once. How do I use Maven to run this multiple times for all the files in a directory? I have googled but cant find any info on how to do this, apart from some posts about using Jelly, but this seems to be no longer supported in the latest Maven version. Help appreciated.
