Question

I have added the following to my project’s pom.xml:

<resources>
    <resource>
        <directory>src/main/app</directory>
    </resource>
    <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
    </resource>
</resources>

I am running Mule Studio 1.3.0, which is based on Eclipse 3.6 (Helios). I have added m2eclipse 1.1.0.20120530-0009 via the update site.

The problem is that the directory src/main/app is not appearing as a source folder, and therefore its contents are not on the classpath.

Answer 1

Adding the src/main/app folder as a resource is not totally correct from a mule point of view.

In fact this will mess up with the generated Mule application structure and the content fo the app folder will end up both in the root of the zip and in the classes folder.

Instead the src/main/app folder should be part of the test resources and you can do that by adding the following plugin to your maven build:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>add-source</id>
        <phase>generate-sources</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>add-test-source</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
            <sources>
                <source>${basedir}/src/main/app/</source>
            </sources>
        </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
