Issue

  • I made some changes (e.g. a hint) to the portlet-model-hints.xml file under my project's service builder folder and I am now running the
mvn clean generate-resources

command. If I run this command from within the service folder, the modification is kept, but if I run it from the root folder of the maven project, the portlet-model-hints.xml will be replaced by a new file an the change is gone.

Environment

  • Maven

Resolution

  • Make sure you have a line like this in your pom.xml:
<mergeModelHintsConfigs>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/portlet-model-hints.xml
          </mergeModelHintsConfigs>
