Running "mvn compile" on the attached build (basically the POM below and a /src/main/resources/placeholder.txt/), I get different behaviour on Windows v Linux (tried combinations of Maven 3.0.4/3.0.5, Win7 x64/Ubuntu12.10 x64, openjdk 1.6/1.7).
On Windows, it compiles fine. On Linux, it tries to copy the resources to the root directory instead of the build output directory tree. It fails because the account I'm running under doesn't have permissions to write there. I tried attaching a debugger, and the furthest I got was stepping through /maven-filtering-1.0-beta-2 /, and seeing that in /DefaultMavenResourcesFiltering/, /Resource.getTargetPath()/ returns null on Windows, and "" on Linux. Why that is, I don't know. Returning "" triggers the null-check logic that basically says "if targetPath is not null, append a slash". But if /targetPath/ is an empty string, this creates a destination filename that resides in the root directory. The workaround is straightforward - remove the redundant "<targetPath/>" element, since the default behaviour is the same - but I just wanted to confirm if this is a bug, or something I don't understand. bug754.zip <http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/file/n5751355/bug754.zip> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>bug754</groupId> <artifactId>bug754</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <build> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources</directory> <targetPath/> </resource> </resources> </build> </project> -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/targetPath-for-resource-behaves-differently-Windows-v-Linux-tp5751355.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
