Title Body

I have config files and various documents that I want to copy from the dev environment to the dev-server directory using Maven2. Strangely, Maven does not seem strong at this task. Some of the options: Simple use a copy task in Maven <copy file="src/main/resources/config.properties" tofile="${project.server.config}/config.properties"/> Use the Ant plugin to execute copy from Ant. Construct an artifact of type zip , alongside the "main" artifact of the POM which is usually of type jar , then unpack that artifact from the repository into the target directory. maven-resources plugin, as mentioned below. Maven Assembly plugin -- but this seems to require a lot of manual definitions, when I want to do things simply and "conventionally." This page even shows how to build a plugin to do copying! maven-upload plugin, as mentioned below. maven-dependency-plugin with copy , as mentioned below. All these seem needlessly ad hoc: Maven is supposed to excel at doing these standard tasks without fuss and bother. Any advice?
