How to add file to war META-INF dir
Dear colleagues,
My maven2 war project produces a file under the target tree as part of
the generate-source phase:
target/somedirectory/META-INF/somefile
How can I include this file under the META-INF directory of the packaged
war as follows:
META-INF/somefile
Thanks for your help.

I think he is looking to place file in META-INF not MANIFEST customization -
I could be wrong and that link maybe helpful none the less.
Some suggestions, maybe not the best solution but:
- Use the antrun pluging to copy stuff over before the package phase (I'm
will assume this artifact is generated during compilation) (already
suggested)
- Treat it as an external web resource and then use
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html
to overlay the META-INF directory directly (ugly as sin)
That second one is off the top of my head and I have not tried it...

Hi Eric,
The docs are not obvious to me. Do I need to write code for this?
If not, can you give an example please. Thanks.

Thanks. I guess that is what I will have to do.

If you can't control where it is being created, perhaps you should use
the antrun plugin to copy the file to where you need it after it has
been generated.

I guess that the easier way to resolve this issue is to create a ant
script which might be started after this build under the maven-ant-plugin .

Hi Alexander,
There is a complex dependency on various plugin and underlying libraries
that does not offer much flexibility in where the file is produced.
The example is the one I gave earlier. The generate-sources phase produces:
target/jaxws/wsimport/java/META-INF/somefile
I need the resulting war to have:
META-INF/somefile
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Alexandre, but I do not have the option to change the directory
where my file is produced (it is under target tree).
This must be a common need to include META-INF files from target tree?
Any other suggestions?

Hello,
probably, you could add the directory META-INF in your resource
directory like
src/main/resources/META-INF
It should work
