Copy file

Is there a plugin to copy a specified file during the build process?

In src/main/resources I have "config-customer1.xml", "config-customer2.xml",
"...3" and so on.. Depending on which profile I activate when running Maven
I need one of these files to be copied to "src/main/resources/config.xml" so
that the correct config for the given customer is used. Is that possible?

Hi,

There's a couple of approaches to this:

1) use separate resources directories for each customer, with each  
one containing a config.xml. Then configure a resources block in each  
profile that points at the appropriate directory.

2) use a single config file that has its values specified as property  
values (using ${property.name} notation. Specify the property values  
in each profile and configure the main resources block to use filter  
copying.

Cheers,

Steve Coy

What about the antrun plugin? It should allow you to do what you want...

In each of your profiles, you could define a separate <build> block 
which contains which resources you want to be included in each profile 
(using the <includes> and <excludes> tags).

You may want to take a look at this..

I think the following solution should work for you.

Here are two example profiles

<profile>
            <id>env-qa</id>
            <activation>
                <property>
                    <name>env</name>
                    <value>qa</value>
                </property>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <env>qa</env>
            </properties>
        </profile>

        <profile>
            <id>env-prod</id>
            <activation>
                <property>
                    <name>env</name>
                    <value>prod</value>
                </property>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <env>prod</env>
            </properties>
        </profile>


and here are my resouces

        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            </resource>
            <resource>
                <directory>src/main/resources-${env}</directory>
            </resource>
        </resources>

and your directory structure would look like....

/src/main
              /resources
              /resources-qa
              /resources-prod

place any env specific files in the qa or prod directories

then build via profile

   mvn package -p env-prod

or by env var

   mvn package -Denv=prod

Hope this helps

Nathan

AFAIK this can only be done with the antrun plugin.

Re: Copy file

Hi,

No, I have not found the answer yet. I actually worked around the problem
and changed the application so that the config file can be deployed at
runtime, a solution I found to be more flexible as it does not require  a
full rebuild.

Hi,

Sorry, I misread your previous email. I thought it was about using a 
different config file for every profile.
Anyway, I don't know of any plugin that can be used for what you wanted 
to do..

Re: Copy file

Thanks for replying, but I can't see how configuring this plugin can help me
copy a file during the process-sources phase. What I need is something that
copies "config-customer1.xml" to "config.xml", and as far as I can see this
plugin only handles inclusion/exclusion of files within a resource
directory.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html

Btw, the resources:resources goal of the maven-resources-plugin is 
already bound to Maven's process-resources phase so when you do' mvn 
install', its already executed.. you need not execute 'mvn 
resources:resources'.
