Question

Given,

Apache Maven 3.0.3 and a src/main/resources/application.properties file with

 project.root=${basedir}

and a pom.xml file with

<build>
   <resources>
     <resource>
       <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
     </resource>
   </resources>
...

When I run “mvn clean package”, I get a target/classes/application.properties file with filtering

project.root=/path/to/MyProject

However, the application.properties file that is included in the jar has not been filtered.

project.root=${basedir}

Why is the application.properties file that is included in the jar not filtered? According to the documentation, the filtered properties file(s) from target/classes ought to be included in the jar.

Answer 1

Self-service.

Needed to add <Include-Resources>{maven-resources}</Include-Resources>
to configuration of maven-bundle-plugin.

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.4.3</version>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
            <configuration>
                <manifestLocation>META-INF</manifestLocation>
                <instructions>
                    <Include-Resources>{maven-resources}</Include-Resources>
                    <Bundle-SymbolicName>${bundle.symbolicName}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
                    <Bundle-Version>${project.version}</Bundle-Version>
                    <Export-Package>${bundle.namespace}.*;version="${project.version}"</Export-Package>
                    <Import-Package>
