Web resources filtering with Maven war plugin does not work in Eclipse with m2e

Question

I\'m trying to filter a Spring configuration file using Maven filtering. My POM is configured like this:

        ...
        
          

        

Answer 1

Today I had similar problem when several jars were included into war. I set the filtering on,and compared the original jars with filtered. They seem to be same,but this is not true. I tried to rename jar to zip and I was not able to unpack the content due to corrupted structure inside jar(zip) whereas the original one were ok. It is also mentioned here adding filtering web resources where is said that filtering has to be set false to prevent corrupting your binary files.
