Goal

• merge:merge: merge multiple files into one

Configuration

Target tag has to be a file.

List of sources

You can merge files by declaring a list of sources inside the sources tag. Each source can be a file or a directory.

The order of sources is used to merge files. If a source is a directory with sub-directories and files then sub-directories are merged before files.

Pattern

You can define a regular expression to select files to be merged. Use searchDir and pattern tags instead of sources tag.

Override

Optional tag to override existing targeted file. The default value is false and a MojoExecutionException is thrown if the targeted file exists.
