I'm trying to use the #Sql annotation in my tests. It’s supposed to find the .sql files in the same package as the test, but it's not working for me with Maven. Maven isn't copying the file to the same place it's compiling the .class file. If I manually copy the file there, then it works.
How do I get maven to copy the file for me? Thanks.

I have a legacy app that I'm porting from Ant to Maven. My Maven build works fine for the main project, which I've moved into the standard Maven directory layout (*.java files in /src/main/java/) and it outputs the compiled classes into /target/classes/ as neat as you could wish. These are packaged in a .war file.
However, the project also has a class outside of the folder hierarchy, indeed outside of the web application, that contains scripts that run via cron job. Let's say it's /cronjobs/MyClass.java. I need that class to be compiled and output to /target/cronjobs/MyClass.class and zipped up as part of the resulting .war file, in its /cronjobs/ folder.
Can Maven do this? I know it's possible to change the default "src" directory and "target" directory, but I don't know if (or how) it's possible to run a separate, parallel compile step for just one class.
I can move the source file, of course, if it's easier to compile it with the other classes and then move it later (maybe with the WAR plugin?) but I definitely need the compiled MyClass.class file in the /cronjobs/ directory of the .war.
I'd split the project in 2 parts, webapp as war and cronjobs as jar. Maven knows about multi-module format and it is somewhat the best way to go forward and decouple the webapp from non-webapp code.
I am trying to create a maven-plugin that generates new files based on a template file (basically using the FreeMarker language). I can successfully generate the files if I run the maven plugin from the directory of my maven-plugin project since my plugin accesses the template file based on a relative path.
However, if I try to run the plugin in some other java project directory, I cannot find the template file. I do not want to copy the templated file into the new java project.
I searched around to see if the maven plugin can access files within itself when another project is using the plugin but wasn't successful. Most of the documentation refers to accessing the java project files, and not the maven-plugin files.
Is this even possible or is there a better approach/workaround to tackle the problem?
Edit (Directory structure):
Maven-Plugin (FileGenerator):
src
--main
--java
--FileGenerator.java (references the TemplateFile based on the path to the root project)
TemplateFile
If I run the plugin as a standalone, I am able to generate new files based on the TemplateFile. I achieve the following structure
Maven-Plugin (FileGenerator):
src
--main
--java
--FileGenerator.java
TemplateFile
NewFile1
NewFile2
However, if I run the plugin in another directory (such as part of another java project) with the command mvn myplugin:mypluginplugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:build
Another Java Project
src
--main
--java
--AnotherFile.java
pom.xml
I get an error mentioning that the TemplateFile cannot be found. Is there a way for the plugin to reference the TemplateFile regardless of where it is run at?
Ideal Output After running plugin
Another Java Project
src
--main
--java
--AnotherFile.java
pom.xml
NewFile1
NewFile2
I use Intellij Idea.
Java-classes use .txt files which are placed in folder where .java files are situated.
I created .jar file with maven and pom.xml. But there are no .txt in .jar file.
How to add them there?
UPDATED:
I have such structure src/main/java/Project-name/ for .java files. And src/main/resources/for .txt files. Within .java files I access files as ../../resources/filename.xml and all works fine. But .jar-files created with maven says:
Unable to open "../../resources/filename.xml"
How correctly should I declare filenames?
You are going against the convention. Java source goes to src/main/java but your resources must go to src/main/resources. The rest ist handled by Maven.
I'm using Enunciate to generate REST documentation upon building a REST application. Enunicate outputs documentation to /target/docs. I would like to add the /docs directory to the resulting JAR file (and rename it) to be able to serve docs as static content.
How do I do this? I can't figure out how to get these static files (which are generated upon build) into the JAR.
I guess you can solve this by configuring the Maven plugin for enunciate and wiring it up to be run in the 'generate-resources' lifecycle phase.
Also, make sure you set the output-dir to a subdirectory of src/main/resources/static, as commented by Rob above.
I added this to my enunciate.xml to force the docs directory to be generated in a custom location which will be packaged with the .war file
<docs docsDir="target/<app_name>/docs"/>
and then maven will put the entire contents of target/ into the resulting war file package
I am new to Maven and Spring. I'm using Netbeans 7 as my IDE, and setting up a Spring 3 project using Maven.
Everything seemed to set up smoothly, and I began running through the Spring User Guide. However, I'm getting a file not found exception when trying to load my context.xml file.
I have an App class located at com.myproject and the context.xml file is located at com.myproject.conf
I'm using the following line of code in App.java to try and load the context.xml file:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("context.xml");
But when I run the application, it results in:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [context.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
Looking at the NetBeans output, it also looks like it's not picking up the log4j.properties file which is also located in com.myproject.conf
I looked at the jar that the build process created, and the entire com.myproject.conf package is missing, meaning the .xml and .properties are missing as well. I've tried moving these config files to the com.myproject package as well as just putting them at the root of the project which don't yield any different results.
So I'm making the assumption that my maven project isn't set up entirely correctly, or maybe a setting isn't correct within NetBeans.
It seems like you need to learn about resources in Maven projects (such as XML, bitmaps, etc...). These are stored in separate directories. See here.
Put the package in "Other Sources"
I have the same problem with a .property file to manage the Internationalization.
I create it in com.company.app.view.resources at the Source Packages directory.
When I build the project and then look at my war file (target).. I don't found the .property file in /WEB-INF/classes/com/company/app/view/resources
Then I put the package in "Other Sources" directory and it works for me.
