Problems with maven.war.property.expansion
------------------------------------------
Key: MPWAR-65
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPWAR-65
Project: maven-war-plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.6.2
Reporter: Caleb Lyness
When you use the maven.war.property.expansion=true, all resources in your
webapps folder are all modified. This is fine, but some binary files (for
example image) are broken in the process. I would propose that 2 variable are
added, apon which the filter set can be further specified.
maven.war.property.expansion.includes
maven.war.property.expansion.excludes
In this way specific files may have the expansion applied to them or avoid any
meddling.
Also, note that the special treatment of web.xml conflicts with the
maven.war.property.expansion.
The web.xml is copied and filtered during the main copy step (including
expansion). Then later
it is copied again, without expansion, overwritting the original file. This can
be worked around by
setting maven.war.webxml=nonexistentfile or by having
maven.war.webxml.overwrite=false
The expansion code should be added to the second stage as well.
