This is something i couldn't get to work either.
A brief look at the code reveils that it's doing exactly the same as the
resources plugin to get the project properties, so i'm wondering if this is
not working for normal resources as well.
private Properties getBuildFilterProperties()
throws MojoExecutionException
{
// System properties
Properties filterProperties = new Properties( System.getProperties() );
// Project properties
filterProperties.putAll( project.getProperties() );
for ( Iterator i = filters.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
{
String filtersfile = (String) i.next();
try
{
Properties properties =
PropertyUtils.loadPropertyFile( new File( filtersfile ), true, true );
filterProperties.putAll( properties );
}
catch ( IOException e )
{
throw new MojoExecutionException( "Error loading
property file '" + filtersfile + "'", e );
}
}
return filterProperties;
}

Yes that works. The only mod I had to make was adding a filter file.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-12
shows the filters in the configuration element of the maven-war-
plugin, which _doesn't_ work. Moving the filters element up to be a
child of the build element is the necessary fix.
There would still appear to be a problem though - how can you get
access to, say, ${project.version}. It would seem you would need to
take a resource, filter it normally, then use the filtered resource
as the filter file for the war plugin. Or how can you access a
property set in a profile? These should all be available for
filtering, and we shouldn't need to specify a filter file, if we want
to be consistent with regular resource filtering.
Should I file a JIRA issue, or are there more hidden gems that I'm
missing?
Thanks,
J
