Conflict between war and resources plugins

[Scott Tavares <st...@thecityside.com>]

Hi all,

It took me weeks to figure this one out. The crux of the issue is that 
both of these plugins do to a copy of the src/main/webapp directory. For 
example if you run />mvn resources:resources on your project it runs as 
expected, including if you are doing any filtering in the webapp 
directory. But, and here is where I had the problem, if you run />mvn 
war:war it does the first copy(and filter) of the webapp resource folder 
by the resources plugin. Then the war plugin its self does a second copy 
of the webapp resource folder overwriting what the resource/filter 
plugin just did, in short undoing your filtering. To get around this I 
did the following:

+            //copyResources( getWarSourceDirectory(), webappDirectory, 
getWebXml() );

             buildWebapp( getProject(), webappDirectory );
         }

I know there are probably a million better ways to do this, but for now 
this works for me.
