maven-replacer-plugin and multiple files

Question

I wrote a Java Web Application where I replace URLs to static content at build time to add version information, primarely for caching.

For example, href=\"mya

Answer 1

The solution for the plugin version 1.5.2 by mk7 works for me. I added a basedir-Tag (i didn't had one) before the include-Tag in the plugin configuration.

<basedir>${basedir}</basedir>

Answer 2

I used the plugin in version 1.5.3 and all works fine

  <plugin>
            <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
            <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.3</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>replace</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <basedir>ENTER_YOUR_BASEDIR</basedir>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.js</include>
                </includes>
                <replacements>
                    <replacement>
                        <token>WHAT_TO_REPLACE</token>
                        <value>VALUE</value>
                    </replacement>
                </replacements>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

Answer 3

The includes tag works with version 1.5.2 as well, you just have to specify the basedir tag before includes, and put the filepath (excluding the filename) as the basedir value and just the filename as the include tag value. So in your case something like this should work:

<plugin>
      <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
      <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
      <version>1.5.2</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <phase>prepare-package</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>replace</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
      <configuration>
        <basedir>${project.build.directory}/myApp</basedir>
        <includes>
          <include>index.jsp</include>
        </includes>
        <replacements>
          <replacement>
            <token>%PROJECT_VERSION%</token>
            <value>${project.version}</value>
          </replacement>
        </replacements>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>

Answer 4

I tried all answers here but no one worked for me. I manage to work around this issue by making multiple "single replacement" executions of the plugin

<plugin>
            <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
            <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
            <inherited>false</inherited>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>replace-xxx.properties</id>
                    <phase>install</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>replace</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <inherited>false</inherited>
                    <configuration>
                        <file>target/xxx.properties</file>
                        <replacements>
                            <replacement>
                                <token>$${dev.mail.server.address}</token>
                                <value>xxx</value>
                            </replacement>
                            <replacement>
                                <token>$${dev.mail.server.port}</token>
                                <value>yyyy</value>

Answer 5

This seems to be a bug in the latest 1.5.2 Version.

As soon as I change the version on bugfix level down to 1.5.1, the Not Working Example works just as expected and all tokens are replaced by their values.

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
  <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>prepare-package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>replace</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <configuration>
    <includes>
      <include>${project.build.directory}/myApp/index.jsp</include>
    </includes>
    <replacements>
      <replacement>
        <token>%PROJECT_VERSION%</token>
        <value>${project.version}</value>
      </replacement>
    </replacements>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

I also removed the ignoreMissingFile as suggested by ben.

Answer 6

I had the same problem with 1.5.2 and reverted to

<filesToinclude>file1, file2</filesToInclude>

however I can imagine one would not like to add a dozen files manually...
