Maven 2 Remote Resources Plugin This plugin is used to retrieve JARs of resources from remote repositories, processes those resources, and incorporate them into JARs you build with Maven. A very common use-case is the need to package certain resources in a consistent way across your organization: at Apache it is required that every JAR produced contains a copy of the Apache license and a notice file that references all used software in a given project. * Goals Overview * {{{bundle-mojo.html}remote-resources:bundle}} creates the resource bundle manifest required by the remote resource bundle processing. The manifest file, <<<${basedir}/target/classes/META-INF/maven/remote-resources.xml>>>, is created from the contents of the <<>> directory. * {{{process-mojo.html}remote-resources:process}} retrieves the specified remote resource bundles, processes them and places them in your <<<${basedir}/target/classes>>> directory. [] * Usage Instructions on how to use the Remote Resources Plugin can be found {{{usage.html}here}}. ~~* Examples ~~ ~~ To provide you with better understanding of some usages of the Remote Resources Plugin, ~~ you can take a look at the following examples: ~~ ~~ * {{{examples/example.html}Sample Example}}
