What 'hack' do you need for Maven to include the HTML in the classes

HTML alongside their classes, they need this hack as well right? It's

Re: Putting HTML files in src/main/webapp
Alan,
The fragment of XML from the pom that I posted IS in the Wicket
Quickstart generated via mvn archetype:generate. It's also in the
pom when you use the helper code available here: http://wicket.apache.org/quickstart.html
Hence why it's not a hack, it's standard Maven stuff. You don't need
the maven war plugin to generate the default war either.
However, since you are doing it in a non standard way then you'll need
the maven war plugin to assemble your war in the way you want.
You said this:
Thanks for that, but that's not really my issue. How do I make Wicket
find the .html files in the root of the war?
So I gave you a link to do that. Since your HTML files will now be in
a non standard location (ie not next to the classes) you will need to
configure your app to look in the location you desire, and that
information is available in the wiki link I posted:
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/control-where-html-files-are-loaded-from.html
All of this information is readily available; first search item for
the configuration, quickstart for pom.

shown in the wiki you just posted (I also looked at that before
posting,
I even attempted to use the non-maven partitioning method but without
much documentation on the PathStripperLocator and a working example I

Re: Putting HTML files in src/main/webapp
To make Luther's point more explicit: Wicket allows you to bundle everything a Wicket component needs (Java code, HTML, CSS, images, etc.) into a single JAR and drop that JAR into the WEB-INF/lib directory of any WAR, thereby making the JAR essentially self-contained and reusable. The benefit this provides is the ability to truly componentize (or modularize) your web application. You can break a large project up into modules that become separate JAR Maven projects. Or you can break out reusable components into separate JAR Maven projects that get reused in different web applications. You can't take advantage of that if you put the resources in the root of WAR. -Richard On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 4:03 AM, Luther Baker lutherba...@gmail.com wrote: Separates the code from the templates so the designers don't have to checkout the whole project, also keeps all the content in one directory.
