Create XML file from Maven-CodePudding

There are many Maven plugins for file manipulation, filtering, copying etc. But is there also a way to create a new XML file from Maven (without creating my own plugin)?

Ideally, I could do something like this:

<build>
    <create-file-xml>
        <file>${basedir}/src/main/resources/my.xml</file>
        <content>
            <xml-root>
                <any-tags>
                   ${any-variable}
                </any-tags>
            </xml-root>
        </content>
    </create-xml-file>
</build>

So that ${basedir}/src/main/resources/my.xml is created with the tags/content under <content>. And my.xml should be available during my test runs (mvn test).

You can try using antrun plugin from Maven. Hope you can customise following code as per your need.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>add-test-resource</id>
        <phase>generate-test-resources</phase>
        <configuration>
            <target>
                <echo file="src/test/resources/output.xml" append="true">
                    <![CDATA[<xml-root>
                       hello!!!
                    </xml-root>]]>
                </echo>
            </target>
        </configuration>
        <goals>
            <goal>run</goal>
        </goals>
    </execution>
</executions>
