activemq-maven-plugin ignore files in classpath?

Question

I have been trying to get activemq-maven-plugin to run activemq with configuration in classpath of the bundle. However, I don't have much luck. It seems that the activemq-maven-plugin just ignore resources (resources/main/conf/activemq.properties) the local bundle. I checked the jar and target/classes and they are built into the right local. I am able to get plugin to run (mvn activemq:run) if I take out the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean in the activemq.xml Did I do anything wrong?

Here is the output

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to start ActiveMQ Broker

Embedded error: Could not load properties; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [conf/activemq.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Here is the pom.xml, which I specific the plugin to look up activemq.xml via file, that works.

However, in the activemq.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

I had problems too when I tried to use the classpath. So I can't help you there but if a relative path to the file is enough for you, try this:

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
    <value>file:./etc/activemq-broker.properties</value>
</property>
