John Franey commented on MASSEMBLY-178: --------------------------------------- The documentation is wrong for versions 2.1 and 2.2-SNAPSHOT. The filters element is really a child of <build> element not the plugin's <configuration>. To be attached is a patch to the documentation. I got this to work with maven 2.0.4 and versions 2.1 and 2.2-SNAPSHOT of the assembly plugin. I was unable to use your pom with version 2.0 of the assembly plugin because the goal 'attached' does not apparently exist in that version of the plugin. I guess when you selected 'version' for this issue report, you didn't mean to select 2.0. > filtering doesn't read filter files > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-178 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-178 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Linux icebox 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 #1 Tue Aug 8 15:30:55 EDT > 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux > Reporter: Paul Jungwirth > Priority: Minor > Attachments: filter-test.tar.gz > > > The assembly plugin's filtering supports POM properties like > ${project.artifactId}, but not properties read from the filter file, contrary > to the documentation here: > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/single/filtering-some-distribution-files.html > I've attached a sample app demonstrating the problem.
