Re: [m2e-users] M2e configure WTP to publish one or more files from test-classes or src/test/resources?
Hi Fred, 

What is the expected m2e-wtp behavior when a file of the same name exists in both src/main/resources and src/test/resources - which of the two files should exist in tmp0\wtpwebapps\(app-name)\WEB-INF\classes?

What I'm seeing is even when the src/test/resources file is in target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/classes, usually the src/main/resources one is in the deployment (tmp0\wtpwebapps\(app-name)\WEB-INF\classes) dir.  I have not yet determined the super-secret sequence that chooses the test one! ;-)


Here are other behaviors I consistently see with this configuration:

1. m2e-wtp isn't copying the configured files with Eclipse build to target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/classes after editing and saving.  To get it to (usually) copy them again, I have to exit Eclipse, mvn clean install, then launch Eclipse.

2. Sometimes target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/classes is empty; sometimes target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF does not exist.  This seems to only happen with an Eclipse clean build.


I'm wondering if you have any thoughts or advice?

Yes there's a pretty straightforward way to enable that behavior, which doesn't even require IDE specific settings : Use a combination of maven profiles and the maven-war-plugin webresources settings.

Simply configure a profile like :
<profile>
  <id>dev</id>
  <activation>
    <property> <!-- this will automatically be enabled when using m2e -->
      <name>m2e.version</name>
    </property>
  </activation>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <!-- this will inherit existing maven-war-plugin configuration-->
        <configuration>
          <webResources>
            <resource>
              <directory>${project.build.testOutputDirectory}</directory>
              <includes>
                <include>**/some/test/resources/**</include>
              </includes>
              <targetPath>WEB-INF/classes/</targetPath>
            </resource>
          </webResources>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
This dev profile will automatically be enabled when running with m2e (via the m2e.version property), but you can also use other activation triggers if needed. 

The selected test resources will be copied to target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/classes, when using m2e-wtp, or the default war directory when using CLI or other IDEs, when the dev profile is enabled.

Now if you already defined webResources in your main maven-war-plugin configuration, you should use <webResources combine.children="append"> in the dev profile, so the test webResources are added to your original webresources. 

HIH

Fred

Since we use m2e to configure the Eclipse modules, I'm wondering if there is a configuration that will allow m2e/wtp to publish one or more files from test-classes or src/test/resources?

Specifically, I'm interested in having src/test/resources/logback-test.xml published, activating the testing configuration instead of the production one.

I'm trying to avoid temporary manual edits, such as locally changing logback.xml and manually adjusting the "Web Deployment Assembly" Eclipse config.

If there is not a configuration that does so, has anyone else solved this in a non-manual edits manner?
