Mvn 2 plugin to copy files?
Hi,
While tomcat is running, I would like to move some files from my source folder to my tomcat/webapps/myproject folder - in case I altered these files - by calling some plugin and or goal.
Using Maven 1, we had a custom goal for this:
<goal name="jspdeploy">
<copy overwrite="false" todir="${basedir}/tomcat/webapps/myproject">
<fileset dir="${pom.getPluginContext('maven-war-plugin').getVariable('maven.war.src')}">
<include name="**/*.jsp"/>
<include name="**/*.inc"/>
<include name="**/*.gif"/>
<include name="**/*.jpg"/>
<include name="**/*.png"/>
<include name="**/*.js"/>
<include name="**/*.css"/>
<include name="**/*.pdf"/>
<include name="**/*.html"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</goal>
Now when using Maven 2, I've read custom goals using jelly are not supported by Maven 2 - one should create a custom plugin instead. Is this really necessary in this case? I guess there must be some plugin doing just the same job without having to develop a custom plugin. I tried mvn resources:resources, but this didn't work.
Any ideas? I am helpless!!! :-(((
Thanks in advance - your help's greatly appreciated!!!
Stefanie

Stefanie,
Google "maven antrun plugin" and select the 1st search result returned. The
title is "Maven AntRun Plugin - Introduction"
Click on "Usage" in the left menu area. This will show the XML used to
invoke the antrun plugin. Add that to the pom that generates the artifact
you want copied or add it to a pom for a project that depends on all the
poms that create all the artifacts you want to copy..
The lifecycle you use depends on your plans to use this. You could use
"package" to get it top copy the files whenever you hit the package phase
(which just preceeds 'install').
Then put ant commands to copy the files you want to copy inside the tasks
tag.
Find info on ant copy task with google by searching for "ant copy task" and
choosing the top result. The examples near the bottom of that page will
probably do whatever you want.
Thanks.

Could you give an example of how this is done? I don't know much about antrun and how to use it...
Thanks in advance,

I use the antrun plugin for copying files around and such. You just put in
the ant equivalent to your xml, which shouldn't be much different from what
you have.

Why don't you try the war:inplace goal instead of the war:war goal.
This copies classes/lib/etc... back from target into src/main/webapp.
Then use a context.xml file to define your webapp within tomcat.
JSP changes take without the need to copy any files.
Of course you'll have to be careful and mark the classes and lib dir
as ignored in your scm tool so they don't get checked in since they
will be in your src folder now.
