Bummer. I'm not sure how that would work without code changes then. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Russo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 2:50 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: RE: including empty directories in a war build
I see where you meant. The includes element is for configuring a resource. By doing that, if I could get it to work, that would automatically put it in web-inf/classes. All resources go into the web-inf/classes directory. I need it to go in web-inf. Also, I tried a bunch of combinations with the includes just to see if it would copy the empty folder, but it didn't work...
