How to set display-name in maven-war-plugin for web.xml

Question

How can I define the web.xml display-name via maven using the maven-war-plugin?

In maven-ear-plugin there is an configuration option displayName to set the EAR / application.xml display-name attribute.

Wrong approach? Just set it manually in web.xml?

Answer 1

Much more simplier...

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.4</version>
  <configuration>
    <filteringDeploymentDescriptors>true</filteringDeploymentDescriptors>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

see filteringDeploymentDescriptors's documentation. This is available since 2.1 but is disabled per default.
