How to get Java source filtered the same way as resources?
Hi,
Is there a (simple) way to get the java source code in my project
filtered the same way resources are?
That is, in my java file, I could have:
{code}
private final static String MAVEN_VERSION = "${version}";
{code}
and get ${version} replaced at build time?
What I want to achieve here is a way of interrogating my app for its
maven version number at run time, without having to rely on an external
file or resource.
Thanks for any hints.
-Olivier

the benefits Spring gives you above and beyond filtering is WAY worth the
effort IMHO.

I do not want to pay the price of reading that information from an external
resource, when it can be made available statically when the code is
compiled.
I guess I will have to write a plugin similar to the resources plugin
and apply it at the "generate-sources" phase on the source files that need
to be filtered.

Then you could filter the applicationContext, or the
application.propertiesfile. This is what I do in my project (filter
application.properties)

You could use Spring and inject that value from applicationContext.xml or
and external properties file.

Why not use the manifest ?
