Hi, I was hoping for some thoughts from the community about the reasons behind
why one might want to filter at build time versus at deploy time.
Traditionally, our organization built one artifact from version control that
still contained property placeholders. We would filter those artifacts at
deploy time, so that the artifact was completed as it deployed to the target
environment. This was seen as beneficial as we only had to build our artifact
once, and then we can deploy that same artifact multiple times.
It appears as though maven prefers to filter at build time, and create a
different artifact per environment. What are the benefits of this methodology?
It looks like you would have to do multiple builds (to produce an
environment-specific artifact), where before, we could only build a filterable
artifact once.
Thanks
