                 Key: UIMA-1959
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1959
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build, Packaging and Test
            Reporter: Marshall Schor
            Assignee: Marshall Schor
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: build-parent-pom-2


The feature.xml file needs to have the version of the feature (spelled using 
OSGi conventions, not Maven conventions - meaning to use periods, not dashes) 
injected into the feature.xml from the pom version.  This was being done by 
using Maven's "filtering" of resources specifying this in the pom in a 
<resources> element with <filtering> set to true.

This worked for building with Maven, but Eclipse builds didn't work - the 
project shows an "error" because substitutable values aren't allowed in the 
feature.xml.

Fix this by (a) moving the feature.xml to src/main/resources and adding a step 
to copy it (for Eclipse to see and use) to the top level, with filtering.  

Since this is common for all feature projects, add a profile for this in the 
project-wide common parent, and activate it with a 
marker-file-identifying-eclipse-feature.

(For now, also copy into feature projects until next project-wide pom is 
released).
