Maven custom archetype - dockerfile not copied

I created a custom maven archetype. I created all the necessary directories

Inside the directory src/main/resources/archetype-resources i put all the default files and java sources I want to copy inside the generated project; between these files I have also Dockerfile and .gitignore files (not in a directory but in the root directory of the project) So I have this structure

custom maven archetype structure

I created also this archetype-metadata.xml

            </includes>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
</archetype-descriptor>

When I generate the project by executing mvn archetype:generate -B ..... I don't find the Dockerfile and .gitignore files in the generated project.

Any tips on how to solve this?

Solution

  • remove the dot in "directory" tags when you need to include some file in project root:

    <fileSet filtered="true" packaged="false" encoding="UTF-8">
     <directory></directory>
     <includes>
        <include>Dockerfile</include>
     </includes>
</fileSet>
