File Reosurce Template problems and Absolute paths
Hi All.
I am attempting to write a Maven plugin that is executed as part of a build
against other projects.
I am attempting to use Velocity to execute templates that are contained in
the *other* project, not the one that I am writing that contains the
Velocity code.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>properties-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-3-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>update-properties</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<files>
<file>src/main/resources/application.properties</file>
</files>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
So my plugin receives a list of File objects, of the files in the other
project. These files are the template files that need to be processed.
I am using the FileResourceLoader, but I can not get it to correctly process
the templates. Well, not without some awful fudges.
Can anyone suggest a reasonable way to process resources that are not local
to the plugin in question?
Or at least suggest a way to work with absolute paths? (that obviously need
to work on Windows and Unix).
Ta.
-Chris

It would appear that setting the property "file.resource.loader.path" to an
empty string did the trick, namely:
props.setProperty("file.resource.loader.path", "");
Interestingly, simply NOT setting the value to start with, did not work.
So, now I can do this:
Velocity.mergeTemplate(file.getCanonicalPath(), "UTF-8", context, writer);
Where "file" is a java.io.File object that is passed in from Maven.
