Web resources filtering with Maven war plugin does not work in Eclipse with m2e

Question

I\'m trying to filter a Spring configuration file using Maven filtering. My POM is configured like this:

        ...
        
          

        

Answer 1

I've tried everything described above without success. The files were filtered and generated correctly at the "m2e-wtp" folder, but for some reason Eclipse was copying files from "target/classes".

Thus, I've changed my pom.xml, changing the destination folder from "m2e-wtp" to "target/classes", like code ahead.

Important: everytime you need to run a maven build on project, you must change the pom in order to build de project.
