Maven scala compile failing if resource defined

[corcorda]

Hi,

I'm using the maven-scala-plugin for a scala only project and it was working great. I've added maven to the project late so unfortunately it doesn't follow the standard directory structure. The structure is like so:
src/package...
src/generatedSourceFiles/package...
src/resources/log4.properties (only 1 resource so far)

If I add the <resources> tag to the pom and do a clean compile the resource is copied but the compile finishes saying "nothing to compile...". If I delete the resource (from the resource/ dir) and do another clean compile the code is compiled fine (but obviously no resource is copied).

I've attached my pom.xml. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Dave

Resources are considered static things that get appended to the classpath, and are not compiled.  They should be copied into the resulting jars that are generated.

What behavior are you expecting?

you should not put root of resources under a sub folder or your code
(to compile) source.
minimal changes to try :
move src/resources/log4.properties to resources/log4.properties
add <resources> tag to the pom.xml

Hi Josh,

I think you may have misread my mail, or maybe it wasn't clear enough. I know resources should just be copied into somewhere on the classpath. The problem is that when I put a resource in my resource directory it gets copied, but none of the .scala files get compiled. So my out/ directory just has the resource and no class files. If I delete the resource file from the resources dir and do a clean compile the out/ directory is filled with classes as expected. I was wondering why having a resource folder was stopping the build.

Regards,

Dave

Hi David,

I tried it in several places, including putting it above the src folder as you suggested. It has the same effect. I only put it under src orginally because the maven spec suggests using src/main/resources

Thanks,

Dave

For anyone else that runs into this problem, the solution was to remove
<outputDirectory>out</outputDirectory>
from the pom.xml. Everything now compiles fine *and* the resources are copied.
