Archetype: create resources as companions to java source files
I'm trying to create a archetype where some of my Java source files
have related resources. Thus, if I have a Java source as
src/main/java/pages/Start.java, I would like to have a companion
src/main/resources/pages/Start.properties.
In the generated application, these would both be qualified with the
package name, ex: src/main/java/org/example/myapp/pages/Start.java and
src/main/resources/org/example/myapp/pages/Start.properties.
The .java file is no problem, but I haven't found how to do the
related resource.
As a <resource> under <resources>, it isn't put in the proper
directory (the package name interpolation does not occur).
As a <source> under <sources>, it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
Ideas?

I think we have the info we need at this point. Thanks for bringing
this up, it's something I noticed a while ago but never had time to
track down.

Any point in me looking at it at this point? The structure you have
in the quickstart matches what I'm trying to do.

That immediately raised the problem of needing package.html to land in
the package structure, but overview.html to stay at the top, directly
in src/main/java.
I took the quickstart archetype to the Maven sandbox and added the
files mentioned above:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/archetype/maven-archetype-quickstart/
Howard, can you take a look at it? It demonstrates your use case with
a .properties file, and also one with html files for Javadoc that I
ran into with an archetype for Shale.
There is already an issue open that talks about package.html (which
mysteriously just does not get included in the archetype jar).
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-62
And at this point, we should adjourn to the dev list to talk about how
to fix this. :)

This (package name interpolation) used to work if you specified your
resources in the <sources> section. But last time I tried it, I got
an error from a <sources> element that was not in src/main/java.
There seems to be no way to get non-Java resources into a package
structure now.
I think a good way to demonstrate the problem would be to patch the
quickstart archetype to include both a package.html file (which should
live in src/main/java so it doesn't get included in the jar) and
src/main/resources/App.properties which should get packaged with the
Java source and included in the jar.

Hmm. How about just adding those to <sources>?

Re: Archetype: create resources as companions to java source files

<archetype>
<id>tapestry-simple</id>
<resources>
<resource>.classpath</resource>
<resource>.project</resource>
<resource>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml</resource>
<resource>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/Start.html</resource>
<resource>src/main/resources/log4j.properties</resource>
<resource>src/test/java/PLACEHOLDER</resource>

<sources>
<source>src/main/java/pages/Start.java</source>
<source>src/main/java/services/AppModule.java</source>
</sources>
</archetype>
<source> appears to work with -DpackageName=x.y.z to place the various
Java places in the right place under src/main/java.
But I can't find the equivalent for a resource file.

Err, i cant really answer your question but can you please tip me on how
to do this for the java files at least? I asked the question some time
ago [1], maybe my terminology probably stopped people from passing an
answer.
I was thinking to go the antrun route and work something out there, in
any case if a solution is available it would be of great help.
