daniel carter commented on MNG-2751: ------------------------------------ and an flag to allow merging, as happens for other pom elements. You should be able to specify <resources parent="merge"> <resource><directory>src/main/licence</directory></resource> </resources> instead of this monstrosity - no wonder maven gets a reputation for verbosity! <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.7</version> <executions> <execution> <id>add-resource</id> <phase>generate-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>add-resource</goal> </goals> <configuration> <resources> <resource><directory>src/main/licence</directory></resource> </resources> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> > Resource inheritance isn't additive > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2751 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2751 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: All > Reporter: Jason Melnick > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x > > > I have an inheritance model as such: > Parent_POM (General dependencyManagement, pluginManagement, etc) > |-->Base_POM (global dependency inclusion, default goal, default plugins, etc) > |-->Artifact_POM (declares specific artifact type functionality, > resources, profiles, etc) > |-->Project_POM (project specific dependencies, resources, etc) > I am attempting to create an hierarchy that will enable a new project to get > up and running with very little modification.
