I tried that yesterday I believe(and right now our repository ran out of space so I can't retry that to make sure :( ).
hmmmmm, I think I know how to do it now though, and then my question is just why my filtering is not working on the war plugin.....I think I can 1. copy from src/main/webapps/res to target/webdir-1.0.0/resBUILDNUMBER 2. then filter in war plugin....I may be back with why my filtering is not working though for a next question because I was trying to do some filtering the other day and could not get it to work except on resources outside of the webapps directory. a little bit closer to a solution now I think...thanks!!!
