Scott,
I apologize, I didn't really mean to bash just to vent. I think Java
itself is a good language and I used it for several years (albeit with
WebObjects, hardly any Java EE).
I totally recognize that maven2 is not java, but the nature of maven
and other similar tools and also of many java paradigms in general
(their verboseness, opacity, and the steepness of the learning curve
for using them) is certainly a reason why I avoid the Java EE
platform, and I mention that not to bash but to give other people a
chance to learn that there are alternatives.
I do thank you for your help.
What I ended up doing was allowing Maven to put cas.properties in
classes (apparently there is no way around that except to use ant-run,
and when I tried to use ant-run and pass it maven.war.webapp.dir,
which according to docs should be the maven property that points to
the webapp dir when the war is being constructed it didn't recognize
it and I abandoned trying to figure out why.
I do want to use maven for what it is intended: a very robust way to
manage dependencies. I don't want to create my own ad hoc build script
because the one's I create suck much more to maintain :)
Anyway, this exchange prompted me to google "maven rake" and I found
buildr and raven, both of which use ruby. Buildr re-uses the maven
conventions, and supposedly can be a drop-in replacement. grr. I
should have done that particular google 2 days ago.
Cheerio,
Michael Johnston

You'll probably want to use the filtering capabilities of the Maven
WAR plugin:

You should be able to configure it in your <build> tags within the
profiles, though I haven't tried it.
Also, Maven2 != Java. That would be like me saying that Ruby sucks
because I tried to use one program and had issues with it. This
list is also for helping people use CAS, configure it, deploy it,
and troubleshoot their problems. We're happy to help anyone
(including Ruby developers, we don't discriminate), but nothing
constructive comes from incorrectly bashing a language. It detracts
from your original questions and requests for help, and may actually
discourage people from assisting.
You're also not required to use Maven if you don't want. You can
retrieve the appropriate files yourself and construct the WAR file.
Thanks

My previous question, asked more succinctly:
How can I bundle one of several cas.properties files based on maven
profile?
For example, if I do this:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>development</id>
<properties>
<environment>development</environment>
</properties>
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources/development</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
</profile>
my custom cas.properties (which is in src/main/resources/development)
gets put in WEB-INF/classes instead of WEB-INF. The original
cas.properties from the cas-server project gets put in the root of
WEB-
INF.
How do I get maven to put cas.properties in the root of WEB-INF?
Maven is a very powerful reminder to me of why I am an enterprise
RubyOnRails developer and not an enterprise java developer.
Cheerio,
Michael Johnston
