How to write to file from maven
Does anyone know how to write out to a file from inside a pom.xml file?
I ask because I want to put my hudson build's ${SVN_REVISION} value
into a version.txt file.
Any ideas?

Ant is the solution, and using the maven provided vars to set the replace
task...
Ok, is like kill a fly with a bazooka, but, it works... :D

ah, dont tight hudson to your maven build, you should get maven to get
those values for you via buildnumber-maven-plugin. This we you can
invoke maven any where without the need to have hudson to start your
build

Nope did not invent the names :)
I'm using hudson and I believe that these environment variables are
being set by Hudson for me.

Where do you believe the values for these templates/variables should
be coming from? Did you just invent the names yourself?

Geo:
I have to agree with you Geo, ant is overkill but it works.
Russ:
I tried using the process-resources phase of the build lifecycle but
that messed up the rest of my files in the resources folder!
I have no idea why.
I guess whatever was happening to them by default got over-ridden by
me trying to work with just one file specifically.
<resources>
<resource>
<targetPath>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</targetPath>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
<includes><include>version.xml</include></includes>
</resource>
</resources>
Dan:
I looked into buildnumber-maven-plugin, it is interesting indeed but
right now I barely got folks to understand the idea of consistent
hudson build numbering if I try to explain to them how to figure out
where their changes are according to svn revision #s they might pull
their hair out. Besides Hudson is setting that svn revision # too
which is what that plugin offers (plus formatting & works across any
maven invocation too) but I'm good for now :)
Geo & Dan:
This blog seems to be putting works suggestions together into one
implementation:

I believe you need to declare a property in the pom:
<properties>
<SVN_REVISION>${env.SVN_REVISION}</SVN_REVISION>
</properties>
your can test it by passing on the command line:
mvn -DSVN_REVISION=$SVN_REVISION ...

Re: How to write to file from maven
Posted by Pulkit Singhal <pu...@gmail.com>.
I followed your advise and setup something like the following:
<resources>
<resource>
<targetPath>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}/test</targetPath>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
<includes><include>version.xml</include></includes>
</resource>
</resources>
and
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<buildNumber>${BUILD_NUMBER}</buildNumber>
<svnRevisionNumber>${SVN_REVISION}</svnRevisionNumber>
</root>
But I get back the version.xml file as-is without any substitution in
the target test folder.
Any suggestions?

Re: How to write to file from maven
Posted by Russ Tremain <ru...@releasetools.org>.
during the process-resources phase of the build lifecycle [1], you can substitute values.
see: http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/maven.html#class_resource
you would need to enable filtering.

I know that what you suggested is a perfectly acceptable solution ...
but I cringe at the thought of running ant in maven ... no real reason
to do so ... it is just unappealing to me somehow. And I find it just
a bit odd that I can't write out or echo variables to a file. Doesn't
maven have any controls for that at all?

maybe with a Ant task
Look at the Replace task documentation
http://www.jajakarta.org/ant/ant-1.6.1/docs/en/manual/CoreTasks/replace.html
You need first, make a copy from a template with a Copy task, and next use
the replace task to replace the token with the new value, the current
version... : D
