Where to add .ebextensions in a WAR?

Question

Scenario:

• AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• Java application
• .ebextensions currently placed in src/main/resources/.ebextensions

Commands are not being executed.

Where is the .ebextensions supposed to go in a Java application?

Answer 1

Using Maven I did as follows:

• mkdir src/main/ebextensions
• put .config files into this folder

• add the following to pom.xml

      <plugin>
          <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
          <configuration>
              <webResources>
                  <resource>
                      <directory>src/main/ebextensions</directory>
                      <targetPath>.ebextensions</targetPath>
                      <filtering>true</filtering>
                  </resource>
              </webResources>
          </configuration>
      </plugin>
  

to transfer the files to the top level of the war when it is built.
