resources as dependencies
Hi,
We want to farm off some of our common resources (java scripts and
images) into a project that other projects can use as a dependency.
Does Maven2 have a way of getting such dependencies into a resources
phase?
Regards,
John

Hi,
Yes that does the right kind of thing, was thinking of using
dependency:unpack. However, I'd like to use a zip file instead of JAR.
But nevermind. It looks like it can deal with Java source. Not quiet
what I want, but maybe it can be used anyway.
Thanks,
John

Initial thoughts are you could have it as a seperate project and get the
dependency plugin to unpack it.

What I did was the following:
- define the filter file to use as a property
- define profiles for the different flavo(u)rs, each setting its own
dependencies
- at build time, choose profile and set the filter file(s)
properties so that they correspond to the 'flavour' you build.
I did this to build three different web apps:
1. one with the real business layer and addresses
2. one with the test dao layer
3. one with a mock business layer
out of the same presentation layer.

The web.xml in the dependency war does seem to be ignored so this is quite a neat solution. :)
We are using this to provide a library of resources all our web applications can draw from.
I still don't have a good answer on how to do what I call client flavours. The client may need to have tweaked js, their own images and properties files instead of plain-vanilla.
I don't see this as fitting the dependency concept very well - because we really need a switch at build time to control which set of assets to incorporate. The main nasty occurs if we have tweaked scripts because ideally we don't want to clone large pieces of script, just for small client tweaks. This is particularly unpleasant in terms of vcs. What we really need is all the tweaks to be parameterised in some way so they work like components and can be snapped in.
We may have to create our own "flavour" plugin. Is there a way to have resource directories in the Maven project that are ignored by default, and then switch a selected one on to merge into the target? Possibly we might have a properties file that tells Maven to ignore certain resource directories? I don't really want to config this inside the POM.

Hi John,
Yes, It seems so. But it is not used in overlays and you can control
it so this is not big deal.
(see
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-overlay.html)

BTW, I used this in a real world project together with profiles to
generate different flavors of the same application.

Hi,
The Maven war packaging forces me to have a web.xml which is not required in the dependency project. Perhaps I can switch that off? I just want to pack generic script and images up for web projects. Or will my project web.xml simply overrule the dependency web.xml?

Hello,
If you are using wars, then you could you use the war overlay
capability of maven: Just add a war dependency to another war and the
first one will 'overlaid' over the second.
