[jira] Commented: (MRESOURCES-24) Force overwrite resources defined
in profiles
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-24?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_102636 ]
Dan Allen commented on MRESOURCES-24:
-------------------------------------
Let's see, how hard do you think it is to exclude one resource file when using a different profile? How much time do you have? You better have a couple of weeks.
Please, for the sake of every tortured maven user, let there be some way to say "I don't want this file on the classpath when I package." Need an example?
src/main/resources/META-INF/jboss-beans.xml is the configuration file for the jboss microcontainer. It must be on the classpath when deploying to any environment except JBoss. So in the jboss profile, I need to exclude it from the classpath when I build the war. However, the warSourceExclude only handles files in src/main/webapp, but the file I need to exclude is in src/main/resources. Maven2 just says, "sorry, that is too hard for me to do."

> Key: MRESOURCES-24
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-24
> Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Kees de Kooter
>
> I am using profiles to package for different environments. The profile typically defines a couple of properties files with db and log settings.
> The resource plugin only overwrites files that are changed, so the profile specific resources with the same name are ignored and the wrong resources are packaged.
> I could do a clean first, but that seems a bit of a crude approach.
> I would prefer to have a property like "overwrite=true" on a resource.
