Filtering resources into a directory other than classes for a webapp?
I'm using the webapp archetype and our apps are configured to have
the properties files in /WEB-INF/config/ rather than /WEB-INF/
classes/ which maven defaults to for resource filtering. I see the
"targetPath" tag in the resource tag but that's only for packages,
not directories outside classes. I tried tricking it with a path
of ../config/ but that only works when it creates the classes
directory, not the WAR or exploded app. Any suggestions to get this
to work without having to run an ant script afterwards to move the
files?

Yeah, looks like 2.0 doesn't work and when I switched it to 2.0.2 it
worked right away.

I was looking for the same solution, and the war-plugin seemed right.
But my config files were always put in the war root instead of the folder i
specified.
The solution for me was to use the 2.0.2 version of the war-plugin instead
of 2.0.

I have not tried this, but according to the documentation a
configuration similar to this for the war plugin should work:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/${env}.var</filter>
</filters>
<webResources>
<resource>
<!-- the config files you want to filter should be in this directory -->
<directory>configurations</directory>
<targetPath>WEB-INF/config</targetPath>
<!-- enable filtering -->
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Thanks, I've read that as well as http://maven.apache.org/guides/
getting-started/index.html#How%20do%20I%20filter%20resource%20files
and it's basically the same thing as the WAR plugin...I believe.
Since I need this on both the WAR and the exploded app for jetty, I'm
not sure if the war plugin is what I need to be using. But the files
are actually being filtered, it's just they're not ending up in /WEB-
INF/config/ like I want. They're going to /WEB-INF/classes/WEB-INF/
config/. Here is the snippet from my pom
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/${env}.var</filter>
</filters>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<targetPath>WEB-INF/config/</targetPath>
</resource>
</resources>
Any ideas?

The war plugin can do that. Have a look at
