I’ve looked and I can’t seem to find a standalone maven plugin that one could use to generate files with Maven.
I’ve seen a couple of projects that look like they might be going to do something like this, and I know the web start plugin uses velocity templates to generate the jnlp file. But I have not found anything that does this.
In case you’re wondering why one would want this – I’d like to be able to generate Eclipse plugin.xml files as part of a PDE build.
Does anyone know of a Maven template plugin or how to generate Eclipse plugin.xml files from Maven?
I was going to create this, but someone else beat me to it but: the maven velocity plugin can generate files based on templates (using velocity of course).
