Mark H. Wood commented on DS-1208:
----------------------------------
I'm not sure why Maven is involved with this. The contents of dspace.cfg are
all runtime concerns, which should be addressed either manually or by
installation-time customization. Maven isn't used for installation; we have an
Ant step for that.
Maven builds the kit once, then Ant installs it 1..N times with 1..M
configurations. You can even distribute the built DSpace to multiple sites
that don't necessarily have Maven, and let Ant install the same code all over.
And we are already filtering stuff with Ant.

> Key: DS-1208
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1208
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Steve Swinsburg
> Assignee: Robin Taylor
>
> 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.
