I'm building a web application (packaging WAR), and I need to run the web.xml file through a filter to set certain configutation values. I tried adding it to a <resource> tag, but that causes Maven to make a copy of it and put it in WEB-INF/classes subdirectory with all of the rest of the resources. I tried setting <targetPath> to WEB-INF, but then Maven creates WEB-INF/classes/WEB-INF, and puts it in the deeper of the two. I expect that this is because the phase where the the <resources> tag is processed is before the phase where the WAR file (and thus the WEB-INF directory I wish to target) is created. I'm guessing the generate-sources and package phases, respectively?
So, how can I get maven to filter web.xml, but still put it where it needs to go in the WAR structure?
