how to add a copy task to a jar "goal"

[Bernard Sirius <pe...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused by the maven build system and that's why I address this question to both the Maven and AndroMDA user lists (I'm a Maven user by being an AndroMDA one).

it's very simple: I have added some classes to the common subtree which rely on some resources that I load from the ClassLoader. Hence they (the resources) have to be in the classpath. I managed to copy them to the classes alonside my compiled sources, but then the jar task (or whatever stands for it) just ignores them provided, I suppose, they have nothing to do with bytecodes.

The problem is: I cannot find anything like a "jar task". There are everywhere things like jar:install or deploy "goals", with nowhere a specification of what it's supposed to do.

Can somebody help ?

Thanks in advance,

Bernard

Maven supplies default goals for the most common tasks - jar is one of 
these.

" jar" is a goal from the java plugin..... 
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/java/goals.html 

 In the maven.xml file you can extend these goal like this:

<goal name="java:jar></goal>...will override the default goal
<preGoal name="java:jar
<postGoal name...

will be run before and after the java:jar goal

Hope this points you in the right direction...
