Filtering Javadoc overview.html and package.html

[Andrew Hughes]

Hello All,

I am trying to filter the overview.html and package.html javadoc resources.
Specifically, it is worthwhile inserting the ${project.description} and ${
project.version} and maybe even some other information like the SCM, Issue
Tracking, information within the Javadocs. I have selected the non-default
location for these files within the src/main/java location. Why, because if
someone renames a package/directory... then the code and doco diverge. The
filter below does not work, but it does work if I apply this to the
src/main/resources directory.

How do I filter the Javadoc files when generating the javadocs?

  <build>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/java</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
        <includes>
            <include>**/*.html</include>
        </includes>
      </resource>
    </resources>
  </build>

Much Appreciated!!!

Andrew
