First, having different builds for different environments are generally a bad idea. That's, IMHO, a general Java rule so I won't go into that any further but I wanted to mention that.
The, I think you should solve your issue by configuring the resources plugin in to only include the right log4j files. I would set up my pom so that the prod file is being used. And then create a profile for development use where the dev log4j file is being used instead. Regarding deleting the already existing files in the output folder, one could argue that that should be taken care of by executing "mvn clean". Here's how you configure the resources plugin to include/exclude: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html What's going on in your current case is that the resources plugin will copy all log4j files. The resources plugin is bound to the lifecycle by default (for a jar project for instance). That's why you see all log4j (actually all files in the resources folder) end up in the output directory. /Anders On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 08:04, Exposito Aguilera, Francisco < [email protected]> wrote: > My pom.xml file has two profiles which must delete and copy files in a > place.
