[M2] Mojo development: access to resources inside the plugin
In the plugin I'm working on, I have a src/main/resources/foo
directory and as a result, when the plugin is packaged, I get a foo
directory at the root of the plugin jar, and that's fine.
But now I want to get a java.io.File reference to this foo directory
from inside the code of one of my mojos. How can I do that?

That's exactly what I'm trying to achieve: the foo directory contains
a tree of directories and files that I'd like to copy over to some
target directory.

I don't think that you can access the directory, as a whole, in the jar.
The files in a jar file are only resources available on the class path.
Don't know how to enumerate the contents of a directory inside a jar
file, sorry.

It means You cannot object a File object in a jar file, so you stuck i guess

And would you do that? I mean, foo is a directory, it contains a whole
file tree. I don't quite get it.

Yeah that's what I had thought of eventually. But the content of the
foo directory was already the unzipped version of a war archive. And I
just discovered that when you add a war as a dependency for a webapp
project, the dependency gets unzipped and repackaged with your
resources and other files. I don't understand why and how I can get
the most out of it but it's exactly what I'm trying to achieve: I have
a war containing a basing presentation server (OpenLaszlo to be more
precise), and I want to unpackage it, add my own resources and files
from the src directory and repackage the thing. I just have to figure
out how to cake my plugin collaborate with war plugin now to get what
I want.

Re: [M2] Mojo development: access to resources inside the plugin
Posted by Mark Hewett <ma...@gmail.com>.
Maybe you can pack your foo directory structure into a JAR that gets
put into your plugin JAR. You can then try something like:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
"/foo.jar" );
JarInputStream jis = new JarInputStream(is);
JarEntry je = null;
while ((je = jis.getNextJarEntry()) != null) {
// write jar entry to file system
}
Note that this is completely untested (not even compiled!), and you
will have to write code to extract each file from the JAR (or google
it), but hopefully it's something that might work for you.

Re: [M2] Mojo development: access to resources inside the plugin
Posted by Sebastien Arbogast <se...@gmail.com>.
I tried that, based on Dennis' proposition:
URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource( "/foo" );
try {
File servlet = new File(url.toURI());
getLog().info(servlet.getAbsolutePath());
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
throw new MojoExecutionException(e.getMessage(),e);
}
But then I got an exception on the first line of the try block:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical
I was thinking of using IOUtils to copy the content of foo to another
directory but it seems to be harder than I thought.

Re: [M2] Mojo development: access to resources inside the plugin

It depends on what you want to do with the resource.
I used it with
FileUtils.copyURLToFile( url, new File( outputDirectory, filename ) );
to copy a resource from within the jar file to the target directory.

Dennis, would you suggestion work? since the resource is in a jar,
and therefore obtaining a "File" object is not possible.
am I missing something?

You can get a URL which can then be used to create a file like this:
URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource( "/foo" );
