Maven plugin:merge-descriptors: how to configure the resources parameter?

[Ringo De Smet]

Hello,

I am using plexus-maven-plugin:1.3.8 on a custom maven plugin. The
plugin already contains a components.xml containing 2 lifecycle
mappings for custom Maven packaging types. I wanted to add a few other
Plexus components using Javadoc annotations. I configured both the
descriptor goal and the merge-descriptors goal. However, I can't seem
to get the resources parameter correctly configured to only pickup the
folders of my custom written and generated components.xml. I started
with just folder names between the resource tags in the POM
configuration, but eventually tried to replicate the object structure
of such a resource in XML:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
        <artifactId>plexus-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.8</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>generate-component-descriptors</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>descriptor</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
               <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/generated-resources</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
          <execution>
            <id>merge-component-descriptors-with-lifecycles</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>merge-descriptors</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
               <resources>
                  <resource>
                     <fileSet>
                        <directory>${basedir}/resources/xml/</directory>
                     </fileSet>
                  </resource>
                  <resource>
                     <fileSet>

<directory>${basedir}/target/generated-resources/</directory>
                        <patternSet>
                           <includes>**/*.xml</includes>
                        </patternSet>
                     </fileSet>
                  </resource>
               </resources>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

Nothing seems to work. Any input on how to correctly configure the
merge-descriptors goal would be much appreciated.
As a work-around, I'm currently generating my descriptor to the folder
"web" as this seems to be picked up. This folder is not cleaned
however, so it should remain a temporary workaround.
