Andres March commented on MWAR-26: ---------------------------------- This will be a significant patch, since FileUtils currently does all the copying. I will have a go at it and see if I can put something together. Is there any common apache or codehaus libraries that have this type of "copy only if modified" feature? > Do not overwrite target unless source is modified > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-26 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-26 > Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin > Type: Bug > Reporter: Andres March > Fix For: 2.0 > > > I thought MWAR-8 had fixed my issue but it seems to still exist. Correct me > if I'm wrong but doing incremental builds with this war plugin is not > possible. All the web app sources get overwritten regardless if they have > been modified or not. Incremental build were possible in Maven 1 because it > was ANT based. This version uses plexus FileUtils which overwrites without > regard to if the target file exists or older than the source. Besides the > time issue, overwriting the web.xml each time makes my context reload since > the context runs on tomcat from the target location. I think this is a > reasonable configuration but if there is a better way, let me know. Building > inplace wars is not an option as it dirties the source. > If we are in agreement, I may be able to provide a patch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
