Can you not figure out a way to rename the source of the copy so that
the names are changed before maven moves them to the output?

actually, this pattern is very typical to release new versions of css, js,

mention many more). I don't know of any other way to get css, js fixes
immediately out to customers without the renaming(in fact, I doubt a better
solution exists here as this solution has worked great for our last 4
releases but I am open to ideas).
As far as ${project.build.outputDirectory}, I did try that but that seems to
deal with the target/classes directory which then goes to WEB-INF/classes
when packaging a war file. I need the files in the base level of the
war(and the property below references that correctly, BUT the directory
doesn't exist yet).
The only solution I am aware of for css, js, jpg fixes to go out in a new
release is to rename the path to the file(or the file itself) as it is a
very easy solution in build tools typically(at least it was in ant).

The correct property for accessing the target directory is
${project.build.outputDirectory}. So if you change in your "todir" to
use ${project.build.outputDirectory} that should work. I would suggest
investigating another approach though, there has to be a simpler
solution to resolve .css caching.
Thanks

Subject: Re: how to move folder from res to res${BUILD_NUMBER} in maven?
Is there no way of doing the below? This is like the most typical thing
in web applications so the browser will get the newest css, js, jpg
files when a new release comes out.
thanks,

Our resource folder in webapps named res(which has images, js, css,
etc) is renamed every release. This then makes it so when we fix a
css, customers get the fresh one instead of the old stale one from
their cache(ie. they get the fix we made since this folder is always
renamed).
So, in maven, I had
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<move
file="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/res"
todir="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/res${BUILD_NUMBER}" />
<delete
file="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/components.xml" />
<copy
file="src/main/descriptors/jboss/WEB-INF/components.xml"
tofile="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/components.xml" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
but the staging area for the webapp in target directory seems not to
exist when my ant tasks run :( and so our build keeps on failing.
1. How do I move the target/webappstaging/res folder to
target/webappstaging/resBUILDNUMBER folder OR 2. How do I move the
src/main/webapp/res folder to target/webappstaging/resBUILD_NUMBER
folder and delete target/webappstaging/res folder
thanks,
Dean
