Cameron Braid commented on MWAR-22: ----------------------------------- Ok.. I am all for that. Any ideas on a timeline ? Is there anything that I can do to help ? > patch to allow extra webapp and webapp/WEB-INF/classes files to be specified > that override existing files > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-22 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-22 > Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin > Type: Improvement > Reporter: Cameron Braid > Attachments: maven-war-plugin-extraWarResources.patch > > > Currnelty, there is no way to execute a plugin inbetween the 'build exploded > webapp' part of this plugin, and the 'zip up resources' bit. > I have the need to override classpath resources, and sometimes other webapp > resources, based on a deployment target, such as test / staging or production. > With this patch, I will be able to have files layed out like this : > /profile/test/config.properties > /src/main/resources/config.properties > then configure the war plugin : > <configuration> > <extraWebappClasses>profile/test</extraWebappClasses> > </configuration> > thus producing a war that contains profile/test/config.properties instead of > the default /src/main/resources/config.properties > I have investigated alternative ways to achive this goal, and none of them > seemed easy. > Some ideas : > * split the package phase into 2 phases - preparePackage and package > * provide a generic technique to allow plugins to expose extension points > where other plugins can hook into > * create a plugin that runs after the war plugin, that creates a new war - > slow since the ziping will need to be done twice > i'm keen to hear anyone's thoughts on the mailing list or in irc - my nick is > Fracture -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
