Build helper Maven Plugin property not working for resource targetPath - maven

Question

I'm using the Build Helper Maven Plugin to construct a property that is the version with "-" for "."... I have it configured as follows:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.10</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>regex-property</id>
<goals>
<goal>regex-property</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<name>webscript.version</name>
<value>${project.version}</value>
<regex>\.</regex>
<replacement>-</replacement>
<failIfNoMatch>false</failIfNoMatch>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This works fine when I'm building resources that contain the ${webscript.version} property (they are correctly substituted as expected within the file), so this is working:
<resource>
<targetPath>./alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/aikau/${project.version}/webscripts</targetPath>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/webscripts</directory>
</resource>
However, the problem I'm having is in using the property anywhere else within the project... what I want to do is to use the property for a target folder, like this:
<resource>
<targetPath>./alfresco/site-webscripts/customizations/${webscript.version}</targetPath>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/extension-webscripts</directory>
</resource>
With this code, the folder created is simply "${webscript.version}" and not "1-0-66" (in the case where the current version is 1.0.66).
Both the working and not-working examples are in the same <build> element and so I'm assuming are in the same phase.
Can someone advise me on how I can adjust the configuration to get this to work, or to suggest an alternative approach to replacing "." with "-" as a new property that will work in this case?

Answer 1

I was able to work around this using the maven-antrun-plugin with the following execution:
<execution>
<id>rename-extensions-folder</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<target>
<echo>Renaming folder</echo>
<move file="${project.build.outputDirectory}/alfresco/site-webscripts/customizations/${project.version}"
tofile="${project.build.outputDirectory}/alfresco/site-webscripts/customizations/${webscript.version}"/>
</target>
</configuration>
</execution>
...although I'd still really like to know how to make use of the custom property without needing this step!

you may use gmaven-plugin is groovy maven plugin is really powerful
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>change-properties</id>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>execute</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<source>
if (something) {
project.properties.myProperty = 'myPropertyValue'
}
</source>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
here another Example
hope this helps
