[jira] Commented: (MASSEMBLY-546) Cannot supply escapeString for filtering

["Stefan Ferstl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=266194#action_266194 ] 

Stefan Ferstl commented on MASSEMBLY-546:
-----------------------------------------

The same happens when using a properties file for filtering, for example:

*filter.properties*:
{code}
my.property=${user.home}/somedir
{code}

*plugin config*:
{code}
<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <appendAssemblyId>true</appendAssemblyId>
    <descriptors>
      <descriptor>my-descriptor.xml</descriptor>
    </descriptors>
    <filters>
      <filter>${project.build.directory}/assembly/filter.properties</filter>
    </filters>
  </configuration>
  ...
</plugin>
}
{code}

*resource file*:
{code}
test=${my.property}
{code}

The resource file in the assembly results in:
{code}
test=C:\Documents and Settings\.../somedir
{code}

instead of

{code}
test=${user.home}/somedir
{code}

The filter.properties file itself does not get filtered. Only the resource file does. It would be great to have the ability to exclude some variables from filtering.

> I have some txt files filtered in my assembly with <filtered>true</true>. I'd like also some properties tom remain as is and escape filtering. There is no option to. In the resources plugin I can set the filter delims + the escape string. Something like this is necessary for this plugin too.
