Benjamin Bentmann commented on MWAR-153: ---------------------------------------- Keith, you should try out the latest release version of the plugin, which is 2.1-alpha-1. Its source seems to properly resolve relative paths against the project base directory instead of the current working directory (e.g. the base directory of the parent POM). I suspect Jonas already uses this version and hence couldn't reproduce your problem. bq. Try to prepend ${basedir} on the path of the file that could not be found. But please always fill in issues where this workaround is necessary because this is almost never intended. > Resource filtering breaks when run from parent POM. > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-153 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-153 > Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Environment: maven 2.08 > Windows and solaris > Reporter: Keith Ganger > Attachments: test.zip > > > <webResources><resource><directory> breaks when run from a parent pom. > When you define a resource directory for filtering, you must define it > relative to the POM.
