[m2] An XML file as a dependency?
Struts has an xml file 'validator-rules.xml' that lives in core, but
must be copied into WEB-INF of the example webapps, and now I need it
in an archetype.
Does anyone have any suggestions for managing this? In m1 it's done with:
<ant:copy file="${core.conf.share.dir}/validator-rules.xml"
todir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}/WEB-INF"
overwrite="false"/>
Where 'core.conf.share.dir' is a relative path to struts/current/core/src/conf.
Thanks,

It belongs there, with the Struts Validator that is part of Core.
It's a special case of a base config file that often gets edited by
application developers, so it's always been in the example apps
"loose" under WEB-INF. But since you can have multiple Validator
config files, there's no real reason to edit that one vs. adding a
second file for your extra rules.
I'm going to see if the Validator plugin understands paths to
resources in .jar files. If that works then I should be able to
change the example apps to use that copy. Thanks again. :)

Yes, I agree.

No, no such plugin. What we are considering (there was a proposal on
the dev list a while back), is to setup a standard way of packaging
and sharing build resources for Maven 2.1.
If it is not currently included in the core jar, is there a reason it
is stored in the core directory?

I haven't gotten as far as copying files in m2... and since the file
is in a different module it's a problem if someone only checks out out
a single sub-project. It's not something I really want to bring along
from the m1 build.

Not currently, though that might be an option. (Is there such a
plugin already?)
Thanks for the ideas!

For one file, you could put it in the repository, or you can copy as
you did below.
I assume the XML file also exists in one of your jars? another
alternative is to depend on that jar and have a plugin that extracts
that file from it.
