Maven Plugin: Add custom .pure files to configuration about pure4j HOT 4 OPEN

For some reason, I've only just seen this, but yes, this makes a lot of sense. I think this was probably what I had in mind in the first place, but haven't implemented. I will make this configurable so that you can set it up as a file set from the maven plugin: is this what you had in mind?

Hi! No worries! It's close - if it's a file, then each module in a multi-module maven build needs to know where that file is (or each module needs to unpack the file from a dependency). In the PMD example up there, the plugin has a dependency on "code-style-requirements" jar file which is built as part of the project (or outside the project). This jar file has a file called "pmd-ruleset.xml" in it which the PMD plugin uses for its rules.

Since most maven projects are multimodule, being able to locate the file can be challenging if it's a file in a fileset.

Yes, I "fileset" was the wrong term, sorry. Currently, the .pure files are picked up from the class path of the project being compiled. I am thinking you should provide a list of names of other resources on the class path to pick up.

For example, if you had a resource called idcmp.pure in your class path, you could list this in the maven config. Sound ok?

Ok, I've just committed a change. Please take a look when you have time, it should answer your problem. Look at the pure4j-examples project. In there:
. The pom.xml file now references an example.pure file (in src/main/resources)
. org.pure4j.examples.purelist.SomePureClass demonstrates use of this pure list.

Will do a release if this meets with your approval.
