Re: [WAR-plugin] Can I put my resources in their original folder?
Hi Ludwig, I would recommend putting those directories and files in the src/main/webapp directory. The maven war plugin puts everything under src/main/webapp into the base of the war. In your case: src/main/webapp/external-resource.jpg src/main/webapp/image2/external-resource2.jpg would give you the war layout: ./external-resource.jpg ./image2/external-resource2.jpg Hope this helps, Joe Hindsley Ludwig Magnusson wrote: The first example on this page http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering- webresources.html http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-w ebresources.html says that resources outside the src folder will be placed in the root of the war Ex, with this filestructure: |-- pom.xml |-- resource2 | |-- external-resource.jpg | `-- image2 | `-- external-resource2.jpg //more structure And this configuration of the war-plugin configuration webResources resource !-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory -- directoryresource2/directory /resource /webResources /configuration The war file will be structured like this: //more structure |-- external-resource.jpg |-- image2 | `-- external-resource2.jpg Is it possible to structure the war-file like the original filestructure?

Re: [WAR-plugin] Can I put my resources in their original folder?
Ludwig, I think I misunderstood what you were asking in the original email. Let me try again... If I understand correctly, you want to keep the 'external' resource directory name in the root of the war instead of copying it's contents to the root of the war. This can be accomplished by adding a targetPath element to the resource definition. My example below assumes you are renaming the resource2 directory to myTarget in the war. In your case, with a webResource definition like: configuration webResources resource directoryresource2/directory targetPathmyTarget/targetPath /resource /webResources /configuration Applied to a project layout like: pom.xml resource2/external-resource.jpg resource2/image2/external-resource2.jpg src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml ... Would produce a war layout like: myTarget/external-resource.jpg myTarget/image2/external-resource2.jpg WEB-INF/web.xml Hopefully this is the answer you're looking for.

Great! It works now. Thanks very much, I was worried there for a while =) /Ludwig -Original Message- From: Joe Hindsley [mailto:jhinds...@gmail.com] Sent: den 20 november 2009 20:57 To: Ludwig Magnusson Cc: 'Maven Users List' Subject: Re: [WAR-plugin] Can I put my resources in their original folder?
