Re: Core Module - Customer spcific Module. How to set up in Maven2?

[Santonian <re...@guidecom.de>]

Hello,

ist tested the plugin you mentioned but I have some futher quetiones about
it that you might be able to answer. I tried to find documentation about the
plugin but I could not find anything except the page you linked in your last
post. 
Anyway, this is my setup right now, maybe you (or anyone else who knows that
plugin) can take a look at it.

I have a Core Project where I included the plugin in the pom like this:

      <plugin>      
        <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>        
        <configuration>
		   <resourcesDirectory>src/main/webapp</resourcesDirectory>
	       <includes>
	          <include>**/*</include>
	        </includes>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>bundle</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

I included the whole wepapp directory because I have several files that are
equal for all customer project files. (Freemarker Templates, Gifs, Jpes, css
files, etc.) When I build the project with the „JAR“ goal I get a
remote-resources.xml file that looks like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <remoteResourcesBundle>
- <remoteResources>
  <remoteResource>css/style.css</remoteResource> 
  <remoteResource>img/buttons/absenden.gif</remoteResource>

….

I think this is correct so far. Now I have an other project, the customer
specific project wich includes the jar of my core project. It also has this
plugin setup inside the pom.xml

      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>process</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <resourceBundles>
<!--                
<resourceBundle>org.apache:apache-jar-resource-bundle:1.0</resourceBundle>
-->
               
<resourceBundle>MyCompany:MyCoreProject:0.0.1</resourceBundle>
              </resourceBundles>
		        <outputDirectory>src/main/webapp/</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

I am not sure if I understood it corectly. First I tried without the ouput
directory configuration. But the resulting war archive has my files in the
/WEB-INF/classes directory. I know the documentation said that they will be
in the classes directory, but thats not where I need them. I need the files
in the Root directory. Thats why I experimented with the output directory.
That will put my files in the src/main/webapp direcotry (which is my root
after I created my war archive) Additionally I  have my files in the
/WEB-INF/classes directory. 
That seems not quite right to me. 
Did I misunterstand something, or maybee all?

Hopefully you, or someone, can help me with this issue.

Cheers
Santo.
