[jira] [Commented] (MNG-2478) add filtered resource directories to super POM

["Anders Hammar (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-2478?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15281255#comment-15281255 ] 

Anders Hammar commented on MNG-2478:
------------------------------------

I'd vote for changing the name to "resources-filtered". The reason being that it will then be listed next to the resources folder in alpabetical order (which is IMHO most often used). If we go with "filtered-resources" it will be IMHO not so obvious for the user when listing the folders.

Compare (war project):
* java
* resources
* resources-filtered
* webapp

with
* filtered-resources
* java
* resources
* webapp

> The super POM contains default folders for resources that are NOT filtered (src/main/resources and src/test/resources). If one (additionally) needs a filtered resources folder, it needs to override the default and therefore has to add all default folders if he does NOT want to "loose" the defaults.
> To make this easier my suggestion is to add filtered resource folders to the super POM. This should also fit to the philosophy of maven that aims to have defaults and only declare as little custom configuration as needed.
> My personal favorite for the foldernames would be "templates" but to make things more obvious to the user maybe "filtered-resources" would be better. Actually I do not care to much about the name...
> So the resources in the super POM should look like this:
>     <resources>
>       <resource>
>         <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
>       </resource>
>       <!-- BEGIN: addition -->
>       <resource>
>         <directory>src/main/filtered-resources</directory>
>         <filtering>true</filtering>
>       </resource>
>       <!-- END: addition -->
>     </resources>
>     <testResources>
>       <testResource>
>         <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
>       </testResource>
>       <!-- BEGIN: addition -->
>       <testResource>
>         <directory>src/test/filtered-resources</directory>
>         <filtering>true</filtering>
>       </testResource>
>       <!-- END: addition -->
>     </testResources>
