copy resources does not overwrite existing files

["Tomm, Stefan" <St...@ipsways.com>]

Hi,

i want to copy a resource. That works fine, as long as the file does not exist in the target directory. But in this case the file has to exist in the target directory and has to be overwritten. Here are the two relevant parts of my pom.xml:

Integration of Resources-Plugin:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.4.1</version>
</plugin>


Build-Configuration:

<build>
	<resources>
		<resource>
			<directory>conf/${env}</directory>
			<targetPath >../app/pages/global/</targetPath>
			<includes>
				<include>part.jspx</include>
			</includes>
		</resource>
	</resources>
...

I've found out that an overwrite parameter exists, but I have no idea where to put this parameter (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/resources-mojo.html#overwrite).

I tried:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.4.1</version>
	<configuration>
		<overwrite>true</overwrite>
      </configuration>
</plugin>

Or:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.4.1</version>
	<configuration>
		<resources>
			<overwrite>true</overwrite>
		</resources>
       </configuration>
</plugin>


In the first case the build process works fine, but the file is not being overwritten. In the second case the following error occurs:

------------------------------------------
Instead of configuring this parameter directly, try configuring your POM or settings.xml file.

Using the default-value and expression annotations built into the mojo itself, these values were found in your build:

Value: null
Using the expression:null

Value: null
Using the expression:null

If one of the above expressions rendered a valid value, it may give some indication of which part of the POM or settings.xml you can modify in order to change this parameter's value.
-------------------------------------------

How do I configure the overwritte parameter correctly?
