Maven: File does not get excluded from build - maven

I have a library maven module which has an application.conf file in /src/main/resources/ and I want to exclude it from the build in the pom of the module
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>application.conf</exclude>
</excludes>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
A maven module, which uses the above mentioned module, shall build a jar with all dependencies; I use the maven assembly plugin to build actually the jar.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<!--<descriptor>src/assembly.xml</descriptor>-->
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>assemble-all</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The file application.conf is still there in the jar. What I am doing wrong here ?

do this :
<exclude>**/application.conf</exclude>

Not able to add resources using Maven jar plugin

I have a src folder out of which i need to create multiple jars. Like each package as a separate jar. Also i need to put specific xml files from src folder into specific jars. I created a pom which creates multiple jars successfully using multiple executions in plugin. But the problem is the movement of xml files to jars is not happening. Have provided the pom file below.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>tra_common_id</id>
<goals><goal>jar</goal></goals>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<finalName>tra_common</finalName>
<encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding>
<classifier>tra_common</classifier>
<includes>
<include>com/**/common/**</include>
<include>com/**/apm/*Access*</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>com/**/management/**</exclude>
</excludes>
<archive>
<addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
</archive>
</configuration>
</execution>

Move resource files to target and exclude from jar

I have a maven project set up like this:
\src
\--main
\--java
\--fu
\--bar
\--AppMain.java
\--resources
\--log4j.xml
With a pom using the maven-resources-plugin to move my resource files to a target directory like this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>my/target/dir/config</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
And the maven-jar-plugin to create the jar like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<mainClass>fu.bar.AppMain</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
When I run mvn clean install, my target location includes the compiled jar and the \config\log4j.xml. However, the jar also includes log4j.xml.
How do I exclude log4j.xml from the jar and still move it to \my\target\dir\config?
Adding this to my pom was the trick:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/java</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>

Creating directory structure for application with maven

How can I tell maven to create a particular directory structure and to put jar files in certain places?
For example I want to put put some jars in a directory called plugins which are loaded at runtime.
Is that possible? Or am I missing the principles behind maven?
It looks like your jars is your project dependency, so to copy all dependencies at plugins folder use next:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-alldeps</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/plugins</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots>
<overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
<excludeTransitive>false</excludeTransitive>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
When your project use jars like resources, use maven resource section or next plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-config-files</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/plugins/</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<filtering>false</filtering>
<directory>${project.basedir}/jars/</directory>
<includes>
<include>file1.jar</include>
<include>file5.jar</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Maven Profiles Jar issues

I have dev/XYZ.properties file, i am building a jar file using maven -P dev install. How can I place the property file in child.jar/META-INF/XYZ.properties file
You have to execute the maven-resources-plugin:copy-resources goal for your profile dev and bind it with the appropriate phase (process-resources seems the best phase to me). Here is how to define your profile dev :
<profile>
<id>dev</id>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/classes/META-INF</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/dev</directory>
<includes>
<include>XYZ.properties</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Maven: how to get a war package with resources copied in WEB-INF?

when I create a war package with maven, files and directories under the directory "src/main/resources" are copied in /WEB-INF/classes instead of /WEB-INF. How can I get them copied in /WEB-INF?
thanks,
rand
UPDATE:
in my pom now I use this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<!-- here the phase you need -->
<phase>war</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>myapp/target/WEB-INF</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
and I launch mvn with:
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package resources:copy-resources
but I got:
[INFO] One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing for 'resources:copy-resources'
[0] Inside the definition for plugin 'maven-resources-plugin' specify the following:
<configuration>
...
<outputDirectory>VALUE</outputDirectory>
</configuration>.
[1] Inside the definition for plugin 'maven-resources-plugin' specify the following:
<configuration>
...
<resources>VALUE</resources>
</configuration>.
I'm using maven 2.2 and the snippet basically is the same of the documentation
any idea?
either configure the outputDirectory parameter of resources:resources plugin, or put your files under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ directory.
resource plugin
EDIT:
This configuration is working for me:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-copy-resources</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<overwrite>true</overwrite>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
you can run a phase in the form somePhase or a goal somePlugin:someGoal. The phase invocations will invoke all plugins goals hooked on phases in interval [validate,phase] in order, so there's no need to explicitly call them.
Web resources are not the same as java resources, which should be placed in the classpath. Web resources are processed via the war plugin and should be placed into src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\. In this case, it will work automatically without any additional configuration in the pom.xml
This configuration is working add plugin pom.xml
