Filtering Resources : Maven Properties for username & builddate
Hi,
I'm finishing a pom.xml file, and I need some resource filtering.
Let's say I have a resource file named: build.properties:
build.date=${build.date}
build.version=${project.parent.version}
build.author=${build.username}
In my pom.xml, I have the following block:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>
Running the application, the given properties will be loaded and displayed.
Now I need a way of defining them with the filter feature.
I know that the META-INF folder will have a MANIFEST.MF generated by maven,
with the entry Built-By: <username> (where I assume username to be the
system user).
Is there a way of using that value in filtering?
What about accessing the build timestamp? I would like to format the
${build.date} with something like '2007.11.13 15:05:30.123'. Any way of
doing it?
Also I could use an ANT task to create properties (<property .../>). Is
there a way of including an ant task, define a property then use it with
filtering?
Many thanks.

This comes up pretty often. Search this lists' archives (in Nabble)
for "timestamp".
