Making resources separate dependencies
Hi all, I have a question: One of my projects needs a wsdl file resource from another project, but doesn't need anything else from this project. Is there a method to create some dependency (jar?) containing only that resource? Now I specify needed resources by pointing relative path to resource directory of the other project. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Making-resources-separate-dependencies-tf4299111s177.html#a12236643 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Making resources separate dependencies
A couple options: 1. This resource should live in its own artifact since it is a shared resource. So move it to its own project, and use maven-dependency-plugin:unpack mojo to make it available where it is needed (in both projects) at build time. 2. Copy this resource to a public webserver somewhere and use maven-remote-resources-plugin to pull it into both projects at build time. 3. Leave the resource where it currently lives (in project1's jar), and use dependency:unpack to copy it somewhere in project2 when it is needed at build time.

resources as dependencies
Hi, We want to farm off some of our common resources (java scripts and images) into a project that other projects can use as a dependency. Does Maven2 have a way of getting such dependencies into a resources phase?

Possibly we might have a properties file that tells Maven to ignore certain resource directories? I don't really want to config this inside the POM. What I did was the following: - define the filter file to use as a property - define profiles for the different flavo(u)rs, each setting its own dependencies - at build time, choose profile and set the filter file(s) properties so that they correspond to the 'flavour' you build. I did this to build three different web apps: 1. one with the real business layer and addresses 2. one with the test dao layer 3. one with a mock business layer out of the same presentation layer.

RE: resources as dependencies
Hi, Yes that does the right kind of thing, was thinking of using dependency:unpack. However, I'd like to use a zip file instead of JAR. But nevermind. It looks like it can deal with Java source. Not quiet what I want, but maybe it can be used anyway.
