RE: Non-classpath resources filtering?

[Adrian Shum <tc...@taifook.com>]

Thanks a lot for your help.  It works  :)

btw, the reason I want to do this is, I want to have my
application's configuration files put in a normal directory
in file system, and by adding that directory to classpath,
I can change my configurations without extracting them
from the JAR.  In original way that maven handle resources,
configurations are put in JAR which I have to extract them,
modify, and then jar it back.

I am not sure if it is a normal practice.  If not, what is the 
common way to organize configuration files?  I wonder
if everyone is putting all configuration to JAR?

Thanks

Hello,

I don't know why you want to do this but the work around is to add the
following to your pom :

        [...]
            <build>
                  [...]
                  <plugins>
                          <plugin>
                              <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                             
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                              <version>2.2</version>
                          </plugin>
                  </plugins>
                   <resources>
                          <resource>
                                <!-- this is relative to your project
root -->
                                <directory>sourceDir</directory>
                                <!-- this is relative to target/classes -->
                                <!-- this dir will land on your project
root -->
                               
<targetPath>../../destinationDir</targetPath>
                                <filtering>true</filtering>
                          </resource>
                          [...]
                   </resources>
                   [...]
             </build>
         [...]

 you can add as many resource entries as you want.  Hope this helps.
