jira-importer opened a new issue, #214: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-war-plugin/issues/214
**[Julian Wood](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=woodj)** opened **[MWAR-41](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-41?redirect=false)** and commented The war plugin only honours properties specified in a properties file, identified in a build/filters/filter element. To be consistent with regular resource filtering, it should honour properties specified on the CL, in a profile, in a plugin, or in the pom (eg., ${project.version} ). None of these currently work. To demonstrate: mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-alpha-4 -DgroupId=ca.ucalgary.tlc -DartifactId=my-webapp And then add this to the pom.xml: <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <webResources> <resource> <filtering>true</filtering> <directory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</directory> <includes> <include>**/*.xml</include> </includes> </resource> </webResources> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> And finally change the web.xml produced by the archetype so there is something to filter: \<web-app> \<display-name>${project.name}\</display-name> \</web-app> Now 'mvn package' and note that target/my-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/web.xml is **not** filtered. If you add: <filters> <filter>src/main/filters/build.dev.properties</filter> </filters> to the build element, and add the build.dev.properties, and specify the project.name property, you do get successful filtering. --- **Affects:** 2.0.1 **Attachments:** - [my-webapp.zip](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12720472/my-webapp.zip) (_3.99 kB_) **Issue Links:** - [MWAR-43](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-43) Web resource filtering does not expand variables (_**"is duplicated by"**_) 2 votes, 2 watchers -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
