[ help / maven ] - Calling ${version} to plugin.yml

Hello,

Here is my situation. I want to take the ${version} from pom.xml and put it into plugin.yml and also I can call ${version} in a string in any of my classes and it replaces it with the project version, so I can control the version number globally just from the pom.xml. I know this is possible due to the fact that VanishNoPacket does this. Here is my pom.xml if you must know:

Bump.
Sorry for the bump but I have been struggling with the same issue. Also, has this already been solved, OP?

 

I have an example of this in PhysicalShop.

See, https://github.com/Wolvereness/PhysicalShop/blob/master/pom.xml and https://github.com/Wolvereness/PhysicalShop/blob/master/src/main/resources/plugin.yml

 

Thank you very much for your reply Wolvereness but I feel really silly now because after I posted the reply I dug a little deeper in my Google search and found the <filtering> tag on Apache's website. But thank you very much for your reply. It will hopefully help other developers too!

 

Does anyone know how to do this now? Sorry for the bump, but I noticed Wolverness's code is offline and I was trying to figure out how to do this as well.

Something about <filtering>? Not sure I understand.

Edit: For further clarification, I am not trying to do this in my plugin.yml, but rather in my actual class file. I'm not sure if it would be easier to call the information from the plugin.yml, which in turn is called from the pom.xml, or if it can be called directly from the POM file. Thanks!

 

Use maven shade for yaml files. IMO using maven to filter java files is a little... screwy and unpredictable

 

Yeah, I decided I wasn't going to do it for the Java classes. Didn't seem too reliable.

Anyways, for the YAML file, what do you mean for shading? I was looking it up, but I have no idea how to configure it for this specific purpose.
