Filtering java source files

[Stefano Nichele]

Hi All,
is there a way to filter the java source files ? I have a java class 
that contains the version of my application and I would like to set that 
value automatically to the one contained in the pom.

I tried putting in my java file:

   private static final String VERSION = "${project.version}";


and modifying my pom in order to have the java files in the resources:

...
     <resource>
       <directory>src/main/java</directory>
       <filtering>true</filtering>
       <targetPath>java</targetPath>
     </resource>
...

In this way, under target/generated-sources/java I have my java class 
with the right version, but now I have to compile it.
I tried setting the sourceDirectory in the build section:

...
 <build>
   <sourceDirectory>target/generated-sources/java</sourceDirectory>
   <resources>
...

but it doesn't work because the compilation is performed before my java 
classes are copied in target/generated-sources/java.

Any hint ?

Thanks in advance
Ste
