how to move folder from res to res${BUILD_NUMBER} in maven?
Our resource folder in webapps named res(which has images, js, css, etc) is
renamed every release. This then makes it so
when we fix a css, customers get the fresh one instead of the old stale one
from their cache(ie. they get the fix we made since
this folder is always renamed).
So, in maven, I had
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<move file="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/res"
todir="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/res${BUILD_NUMBER}" />
<delete
file="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/components.xml" />
<copy
file="src/main/descriptors/jboss/WEB-INF/components.xml"
tofile="${project.build.directory}/${
project.name}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/components.xml" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
but the staging area for the webapp in target directory seems not to exist
when my ant tasks run :( and so our build keeps on
failing.
1. How do I move the target/webappstaging/res folder to
target/webappstaging/resBUILDNUMBER folder OR
2. How do I move the src/main/webapp/res folder to
target/webappstaging/resBUILD_NUMBER folder and delete
target/webappstaging/res folder
thanks,
Dean

Posted by Dean Hiller <de...@alvazan.com>.
I tried that yesterday I believe(and right now our repository ran out of
space so I can't retry that to make sure :( ).
hmmmmm, I think I know how to do it now though, and then my question is just
why my filtering is not working on the war plugin.....I think I can
1. copy from src/main/webapps/res to target/webdir-1.0.0/resBUILDNUMBER
2. then filter in war plugin....I may be back with why my filtering is not
working though for a next question because I was trying to do some filtering
the other day and could not get it to work except on resources outside of
the webapps directory.
a little bit closer to a solution now I think...thanks!!!

actually, this pattern is very typical to release new versions of css,
js, etc. Projects like richfaces and TinyMCE both use this pattern(not
to mention many more). I don't know of any other way to get css, js
fixes immediately out to customers without the renaming(in fact, I doubt
a better solution exists here as this solution has worked great for our
last 4 releases but I am open to ideas).
As far as ${project.build.outputDirectory}, I did try that but that
seems to deal with the target/classes directory which then goes to
WEB-INF/classes when packaging a war file. I need the files in the base
level of the war(and the property below references that correctly, BUT
the directory doesn't exist yet).
The only solution I am aware of for css, js, jpg fixes to go out in a
new release is to rename the path to the file(or the file itself) as it
is a very easy solution in build tools typically(at least it was in
ant).

Posted by Dean Hiller <de...@alvazan.com>.
heh, I went that direction and that hosed my dev environment up/SCM such
taht SCM wanted to check the changes in(I then figured it is really a bad
idea to generate files at all during a build in the src or input
directories).
but as in my last email, I think I am close to a solution. Just have to try
it after we fix our artifactory from being filled up.

Can you not figure out a way to rename the source of the copy so that
the names are changed before maven moves them to the output?

Re: how to move folder from res to res${BUILD_NUMBER} in maven?
Posted by Dean Hiller <de...@alvazan.com>.
actually, this pattern is very typical to release new versions of css, js,
etc. Projects like richfaces and TinyMCE both use this pattern(not to
mention many more). I don't know of any other way to get css, js fixes
immediately out to customers without the renaming(in fact, I doubt a better
solution exists here as this solution has worked great for our last 4
releases but I am open to ideas).
As far as ${project.build.outputDirectory}, I did try that but that seems to
deal with the target/classes directory which then goes to WEB-INF/classes
when packaging a war file. I need the files in the base level of the
war(and the property below references that correctly, BUT the directory
doesn't exist yet).
The only solution I am aware of for css, js, jpg fixes to go out in a new
release is to rename the path to the file(or the file itself) as it is a
very easy solution in build tools typically(at least it was in ant).

RE: how to move folder from res to res${BUILD_NUMBER} in maven?
Posted by "Moll, Jeff" <JM...@glhec.org>.
The correct property for accessing the target directory is
${project.build.outputDirectory}. So if you change in your "todir" to
use ${project.build.outputDirectory} that should work. I would suggest
investigating another approach though, there has to be a simpler
solution to resolve .css caching.
Thanks

Is there no way of doing the below? This is like the most typical thing
in web applications so the browser will get the newest css, js, jpg
files when a new release comes out.
