I currently have some Maven projects which when I install the project I need to copy all files from the conf folder to the target folder.
|-Project
|--src
|--conf <--FROM HERE -->
|--lib
|--target <--TO HERE-->
I have attempted this in the pom.xml to no avail. What am I doing wrong? My plugin part of the pom.xml is below:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/conf</directory>
<includes>
<include>*</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
Your problem is that you copy the resources in the phase install. In that phase your target archive is already built and copied to your local repository. See the Maven lifecycle. You'll propably want to do it in the process-resources phase.

I have a folder src/resource/templates with .xlsx and .docx files. I am using maven and how is it possible to copy files from that folder into jar file?
I found an answer using maven copy.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<!-- here the phase you need -->
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/classes/report/resource/Templates</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/report/resource/Templates</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
You can add more resource directories to maven project. See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/resource-directory.html
For example:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/resource/templates</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>
...
</project>
EDITED added clarification:
If you now have file src/resource/templates/example.xlsx it should be on jar's root.
File src/resource/templates/report/resource/Templates/example.xlsx would be copied to jar as file report/resource/Templates/example.xlsx
I want to update my pom.xml so that when someone uses: mvn clean package, the generated jar file is copied to the current directory. I'm looking at the maven plugin copy-resources, but i'm not sure how to specify the current directory, is there an operating system agnostic way to do this? Would like it to also work on windows, if possible

If by current directory you mean ${project.basedir} then yes you can do this easily. Just make sure you use ${build.finalName}.jar as the file name part as it will properly get the main artifact of a project with <packaging> set to jar (the default).
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<!-- here the phase you need -->
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<!-- Get main artifact -->
<directory>target/${build.finalName}.jar</directory>
<!-- Don't filter binary files -->
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
If you wanted to do the current working directory instead you should be able to do it using ${user.dir} as the outputDirectory
I'm building a web application project using maven, and packaging is set to "war". I also use YUI compressor plugin to compress javascript codes in the webapp directory. I've set up the YUI compressor like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compress</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/ext-2.0/**/*.js</exclude>
<exclude>**/lang/*.js</exclude>
<exclude>**/javascripts/flot/*.js</exclude>
<exclude>**/javascripts/jqplot/*.js</exclude>
</excludes>
<nosuffix>true</nosuffix>
<force>true</force>
<jswarn>false</jswarn>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If I do: mvn process-resources, src/main/webapp will get copied over to target/webapp-1.0/ directory, and javacripts are compressed. However, when I run mvn install, all the compressed javascripts are overwritten, apparently the packaging process copies the content from main/webapp one time before building the war file.
How can I get around this?
As you noticed, the /src/main/webapp dir (aka warSourceDirectory) contents is not copied into the project dir for packaging until the war plugin executes during the package phase. When the war plugin completes the archive is already built; too late to modify those resources. If the .js files you want to compress were moved into another directory (outside of /src/main/webapp) then you could do something like the below.
To test, I created a ${basedir}/src/play directory with a couple of files in it. I used the resource plugin for the example; you'd replace that config with the YUI compressor plugin config you needed and simply add the <webResource> element to your war plugin config as shown below; more info in the war plugin examples. My war ended up with the additional files right where I wanted them.

I think #user944849 answer is the correct answer, at least one of the correct answers. Another way of archiving this is to exclude the modified javascript directory from maven-war-plugin configuration, e.g.:
<plugin>
<artifactId> maven-war-plugin </artifactId>
<configuration>
<warSourceExcludes>**/external/ dojo/**/*.js </warSourceExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
this will tell maven-war-plugin not to copy from the excluded directory, but since the modified javascript directory is already there, the war file still contains the javascript directory, BUT with the modified, in this case, compressed javascript codes.
in your execution directive, set the phase for applying your compression and copying to be install and that will hopefully do the trick. the code should be something like this:
<executions>
<execution>
....
<phase>install</phase>
....
</execution>
<executions>
Here is my solution, simply add an antrun plugin which updates the packaged war file using the processed outputs, which binds to the package phase:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>package</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<target>
<zip basedir="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}"
destfile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war"
update="true">
</zip>
</target>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I am currently developing an maven based application. I want to make a bat file to run final jar. I've wrote bat file with call to java -jar... and put it into src/main/resources/runners folder. I also do not want to add this file to jar, so i excluded it from resources plugin. The problem is that bat is not copied. I've copypasted maven-resources-plugin configuration from their site, it does not work. However, i want copy bat only while calling jar:jar.
Application is hosted here, so you can see details there. I tried to bind copying as such:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-resources</id>
<!-- here the phase you need -->
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/runners</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Also tried <phase>package</phase> and <goal>jar</goal> (and <goal>jar:jar</goal>). No effect.
By the way: where can i read about maven phases and goals more detailed, then in official documentation (understood nothing from it)?
You could use the pre-integration-test phase, which will only be run if your jar was succesfully created by the build. You will then need to run a build through integration-test, verify, install, or deploy to ensure that the copy-resources is run.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-builders</id>
<!-- here the phase you need -->
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-resources</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/runners</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

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
