Thanks Anders for your reply.
Yep, I've been searching with Google as well and I found the same page,
among others. However, I do not need to filter all the sources, just one
specific file, which contains version and build timestamp information.
As an alternative, one could use Ant via maven-antrun-plugin:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<tstamp>
<format property="build-time" pattern="d-MMMM-yyyy HH:mm"/>
</tstamp>
<copy file="src/main/java/com/.../Version.java.template"
toFile="src/main/java/com/.../Version.java" overwrite="true">
<filterset>
<filter token="version-major" value="${version-major}"/>
<filter token="version-minor" value="${version-minor}"/>
<filter token="version-revision"
value="${version-revision}"/>
<filter token="version-status" value="${version-status}"/>
<filter token="version" value="${project.version}"/>
<filter token="Name" value="${project.name}"/>
<filter token="website" value="${project.url}"/>
<filter token="build-time" value="${build-time}"/>
</filterset>
</copy>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
A similar thing could be done with a property file put in your project
resources.
Are there others and simpler ways to do this?
