This is not a unique situation.
Many people here use Spring and most people have to generate different
WAR files.
One way is to have a set of maven JAR projects that contain all the code
and a set of WAR projects that depend on your JARS and contain the
Spring configuration files that are specific to each customer.
Each WAR file will have all of the right code with the right
configuration files and will build nicely with very simple pom files
that are easy to maintain.
Once you get this working, you can automate the maintenance of the WAR
projects to handle new releases.
This will work and you will have your setup done and working in an hour
or less.
It will also work for each new release of Maven and you will be able to
get support here easily since this is the Maven way and we all know how
to do this.

Ok, I hear you, profiles are evil. BUT I still don't understand the
alternative so let me give a specific and tangible example and maybe you can
explain a specific alternative.
I am currently deploying my product in a tomcat/linux environment as a war
file. My webapp is driven by a set of spring configuration files using the
Spring context loader. For example, one of those spring configuration files
is called LookAndFeel.xml. It sets attributes like colors of the user
interface. I love using this type of configuration driven design because it
lets me swap out the entire look and feel just by changing a config file.
There are many deployments of my application on different systems and each
one has a different look and feel configuration file. So, I was planning to
have a different maven profile for each deployment and have the profile
automatically push the correct LookAndFeel.xml into the war archive.
So specifically how do I accomplish this this in maven without using
profiles?
