[jira] [Commented] (BATIK-1233) Maven based build doesn't generate proper policy files for standalone tools

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1233?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16517558#comment-16517558 ] 

Jan Tošovský commented on BATIK-1233:
-------------------------------------

We could employ 'filtering' in the process-resources phase, which can replace variables specified in POM properties. To prevent filtering binary files all policy files were moved into resources-filtered folder.

But there are two policy files for either source or binary distributions [https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/using/scripting/security.html] which makes things a bit complicated. For binary distribution, when copying resources, we have to exclude the original svgbrowser.policy and use svgbrowser.bin.policy instead (renamed to svgbrowser.policy). This can be achieved by maven-ant-plugin or 3rd party maven-file-rename-plugin https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3998596/renaming-resources-in-maven

But the question is if we really need two separate files. Would it be Ok to merge the content of both files?

> When using maven build in favor of ant scripts as recommended in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1232 I cannot run SNAPSHOT versions of standalone tools (Squiggle, Rasterizer) because of java.security.AccessControlException. It is caused by using default 'policy' file with hardcoded library names, while those do not match the SNAPSHOT names. In the ant script there is replacement procedure which ensures proper names regardless the version.
