Alexander Lutz commented on MRESOURCES-116:
-------------------------------------------

Hi Don,
now I understand the confusion. 
["Filtering"|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html]
 in terms of the maven-resources-plugin means:
 To replace quoted tokens from a "source" resource file by available Properties 
into the "target" resource file. Default quotations are ${...} and @...@ . The 
default use case looks like writing something like '${my.property}' into a 
resource file ..., calling mvn resources:resources -Dmy.property=xyz, resulting 
in: the target resource file contains 'xyz' (instead of ${my.property}).
..you think of "filtering" as "including or excluding something from the file 
system" (I'm OK with this formulation, but the documentation people still call 
it literally [Including and excluding files and 
directories|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html]
 ;))
Except from "filtering", you solved that problem well, I think. I don't know a 
"better" way to copy files, though an alternative: maven-antrun-plugin and its 
[copy task|http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/copy.html]. Perhaps 1-2 hints 
for your pom: Bind the execution rather to "process-classes" than to the 
"package" phase. And prefer '${project.build.directory}' to '${basedir}/target' 
and '${project.build.outputDirectory}' to 'target/classes'.
Please also consider to close this issue!
Best regards, Alex

>    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
>         Environment: Linux, jdk 1.6.0_17, maven 2.2.1

> I'm trying to create a copy of my class files and they seem to get corrupted.
> I'm new to maven, so maybe I'm not understanding how it works.
> To recreate this bug, create the simple maven project:
> mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes 
> -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 
> -DgroupId=com.example -DartifactId=zjar
> Now, add this maven-resources-plugin from the 
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/copy-resources.html
>  page to the pom.
> Change the source directory to target/classes and the phase to package (since 
> I want this to run after compile)
> My new pom is attached.
> Now,
> cd target/extra-resources
> java -cp . com.example.App
> gives me Incompatible magic value error. The weird thing is the class in the 
> target/classes directory is fine.
> Thanks
