  • Why do you need to copy things manually? follow conventions... – khmarbaise Apr 27 '19 at 13:08
  • can you post a bigger portion of you pom file? at least, the element containing this `plugin` ? – Daniele Apr 27 '19 at 14:02
  • @khmarbaise I have two separate environments for which I need to copy different xml based upon the profile – Naxi Apr 27 '19 at 14:53

    what exactly isn't working? Is the copy-resource goal being invoked? Do the files exist when the goal is executed? Maybe the issue is in the ordering- the files are being copies, but AFTER the jar has been packaged (in this case, you should copy-resources in a previous phase). If you enable the debug logs (`mvn clean install -X`), you should be able to see what each plugin is doing, and in what order. Anything strange there? – Daniele Apr 27 '19 at 15:27
  • @Daniele As per the logs, this execution is not getting run. There are other copy-resource goals along with this one and they are running while this one is not. I am analyzing why is this the case. Thanks for your guidance here . – Naxi Apr 27 '19 at 16:13
  • @Daniele Solved the issue. There were two maven resource plugins in the pom.xml file (I don't know why !). I was placing my configurations in the one which was not being picked. When I placed it within the another resource plugin section, all worked fine. Also, I changed phase to - process-resources – Naxi Apr 27 '19 at 17:09

The issue was wrong phase and multiple maven-resource-plugin entries.

Below code worked for me.

<execution>
        <id>copy-resources3</id>
        <phase>process-resources</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
            <outputDirectory>${basedir}/somedirectory</outputDirectory>
            <overwrite>true</overwrite>
            <resources>
                <resource>
                    <directory>${basedir}/target/common-aws</directory>
                    <includes>
                        <include>*.xml</include>
                    </includes>
                </resource>
            </resources>
        </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>
