Hello.
Who can help me with a couple of basics while I'm moving from Ant into
Maven?
I want to figure out how I can specify file names that Maven will
exclude from copying while it copies resources from src/main/resources
into target/classes.
Then I want to have Maven execute a Java process when it is done copying
the resource files -- this I guess would be part of the
process-resources phase.
Specifically, I prefer to author property resources in the Properties
XML format; but ResourceBundle doesn't automatically locate bundles in
the XML format. So I have a process that runs during builds and loads
the xml files into a Properties bundle and writes it out into the target
directory in the ".properties" format. Thankfully, Mustang will have a
feature to allow ResourceBundle to load the XML files directly from the
Java code, but until then I'm using this.
Now I have to figure out how to have Maven exclude the xml properties
files and then run my process on the resources.
If anyone wants a copy of the program I use, you're welcome to it: it is
not very smart: it's not written as a Maven plugin, and it always copies
files -- it does not check to see if the file already exists to save
time; it just loads all applicable files and converts them. But it
works, and it is not terribly time-consuming. I'd consider turning it
into a plugin... but Mustang's feature will actually serve me better
when that becomes available.
Thanks for the help!
Steven.
