Plugin for updating external XML file content
Hi all,
I have a slightly weird situation: I need to update contents of some
external XML file each time I do deploy.
I wonder if there is a plugin that could be installed in "deploy" phase and
do that for me?
Plugin should be able to replace some token in text file for example or
something like that.
Thanks.
====================

Except that you can use Ant as a Maven plugin which does not require
Ant to be installed at all...

Hi Ilya
Yes, I agree, keeping it simple is a positive value.
Perhaps you haven't noticed that ant is an "existing maven plugin". It is possible to run inline ant tasks or external scripts without having an "ant installation" on your system. Maven will get ant from the Maven repositories for you.
I'm just saying that I think starting a new project to create a plugin is not as simple as using a bit of ant script, at least for those who have a little ant exposure.

Hello Frank.
Using too many tools could make project too complicated. I saw a project
with maven, ant and .bat files. It was tricky:)
If something could be solved using maven only -- we should do so. Ant-script
at least requires ant to be installed on platform.
If something cannt be solved using existing maven plugins -- we should make
decision between creating maven plugin and using ant script, because ant
script is better than shell script for example (because of its
cross-platform nature). But I am sure that 99% of our issues could be solved
using maven only. But that’s my imho, and its probably not a best practice.

What do you see as the value of completely eliminating ant use from your
Maven project. I see ant as a tool that is supported and may be appropriate
for some situations.
To have a policy that rules out a useful tool seems counterproductive.

Thanks.
Actually, I wanna get rid of ant in our project, but this can work.
We are also looking at xml-maven-plugin. We can generate XML file each time
using XSL while passing information we need to insert as parameters.

I don't see anything with this functionality.
May be better to use /maven-antrun-plugin/ and write necessary ant script.
Best regards,
