Hi, Is there a possibility to semi-automate application.xml generation?
What I specifically want to do is this: Currently I use the maven ear plugin to create the application.xml. However, I need to register a module that should not be processed otherwise. This means, the only thing that should happen is that the application.xml contains a module description for that module. No files should be copied around and the module should not be contained in the ear (don't ask why). On the other hand, I don't want to create the complete application.xml manually. So I see two options: 1. let the maven ear plugin generate the application.xml but add the module definition in another way (maybe using filtering) 2. create a skeleton application.xml and add the other modules during the process-resources phase (filtering?) Is this possible? Or is there another way? Thanks in advance. Thomas
