[maven-war-plugin] Executing a goal after unpacking overlays and before repacking

[Antonio Petrelli]

Hi all,
Is there a way to execute a goal just after the overlays are unpacked,
but before the final WAR is produced?
What I want to do is to modify a configuration file that is present in
a ZIP dependency, through the use of the config-processor plugin:
http://code.google.com/p/maven-config-processor-plugin/

I tried attaching that plugin to the "package" phase, but the WAR file
has been created before the execution of the plugin.

Thanks in advance
Antonio

Hi,
That's why the prepare-package will be a nice feature :-)
Try to attach to test phase.

I agree :-D But the WAR plugin does the overlay unpacking in the
prepare-package phase in M2.1?

It does not work, the ZIP is not unpacked (after a mvn clean).

I solved the problem in another way.
I used a combination of the Dependency plugin (goal "unpack, phase
"generate-resources"), maven-config-processor-plugin (phase
"generate-resources") and AntRun plugin (goal "run", phase
"process-resources").
Moreover, I removed the Zip as an overlay :-(

But at least it works.

Thanks anyway
