Thanks for the quick response, however, my question has to do with how
to add an arbitrary file to the WAR file's META-INF directory.
I am creating a properties file with some metadata about the state of
the source with respect to source control (repository revision, date,
url, etc.) that I want to include in the META-INF directory of each JAR
and WAR file artifact produced by my Maven build.
I have no problem with JAR files. The generated resource is just dropped
in the src/main/resources/META-INF directory. But if I do the same for a
WAR file it ends up in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF.
Post by Thierry BarnierI put my jars in WEB-INF/lib
Adding the following section to my POM file
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>./lib</classpathPrefix>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Post by Mark ReynoldsIf I include a file (not talking about MANIFEST.MF here) in
src/main/resources/META-INF, it ends up in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF in
the WAR file. What is the correct way to include a file in the WAR
file's META-INF?
