[jira] Commented: (MRESOURCES-36) resource copy to target/classes: empty directories are ignored

Jonathan Ramsey commented on MRESOURCES-36:
-------------------------------------------

Until this issue is fixed, here is a workaround I've been using successfully. Add this plugin element into project/build/plugins in your pom.xml, and change the dir in the mkdir task.

You can have multiple <mkdir> elements for multiple directories. The mkdir task does nothing if the directory has already been copied by the resources plugin.

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>create-empty-directory</id>
            <phase>process-classes</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <tasks>
                <mkdir dir="${basedir}/target/classes/empty" />
              </tasks>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

This originally came from the openejb-standalone pom.xml in the openejb project.

> Hi,
>   I have several directories located in the src/test/resources and I
> need them to be copied to target/test-classes. This is of course handled
> by maven-resources-plugin, however it does not copy empty directories. I
> know it sounds insane to access empty dirs using classloader but I have
> my reasons ;)
