Felipe Leme commented on MNG-2097:
----------------------------------

Olivier,

I agree with you that such phase is necessary, but that might be situations where you need to use the same package on the integration-test phase and only change it right before install. So, it might be better to add 2 new phases, 'prepare-package' (or 'pre-package') as proposed and 'pre-install'.

Also, it's necessary a tool (probably a plugin) to facilitate this preparation; something like a maven-package-tuner-plugin which takes as configuration the files to be included/excluded from the package. Something like:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-package-tuner-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <excludes>/classes/**Mock*.class</excludes>
          <excludes>/test.jsp</excludes>
          <includes>
             <dir>src/it/resources</dir>
             <files>*.xml</files>
          </includes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>


Of course, this is just an example - the real plugin should use a familiar includes/excludes syntax (like the Ant way).

> Hi,
> I have an artifact (packaging war).
> I have some jobs to do (xdoclet-maven-plugin others internal plugin) which are only needed for included materials in the war :
> - web.xml
> - automatic generated pages (about page etc..)
> Actually I attached it tho the phase process-classes or test.
> But when I just want to try a simple the simple : mvn -Dtest=something clean test.
> All of my .java are parsed by the plugin and all other jobs made whereas this should be done in a phase just before packaging.
> I really need a phase just before package to place all this jobs.
> Probably this can be extends to phase deploy.
