             Summary: Build time filtering to allow multi developer/environment 
builds
                 Key: DS-1208
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1208
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Steve Swinsburg


The addition of properly placeholders in dspace.cfg goes some of the way to 
allowing multiple developers/environments to use the same source tree, however 
not enough properties have been externalised.

For example,if I had 5 servers, how would I customise this property for each?
dspace.baseUrl = http://localhost:8080

In addition, the current setup requires the build to activate a maven profile, 
and supply properties either at build time or from a pom.xml, which are then 
hardcoded. 

This isn't as flexible as it could be, for example by putting all configurable 
properties into a build.properties/filter.properties file and keeping that out 
of source control.
Then each developer simply customises the properties file with the values for 
their environment, and the build inserts the properties into the relevant 
source files at build time.

This is a standard maven filtering approach in use by many other projects. Note 
that any number of files can be filtered using this approach.
