OK, I solved this. I've seen others on the web who complained of similar
issues -- and the JIRA tickets may be related -- but here's the answer for
posterity:
The <filters>/<filter> tags need to be in the <configuration> of the
maven-war-plugin and NOT your <build>. The former is for your web
resources; the latter for your normal resources. That's not obvious if your
glancing through many examples but that's how you solve this.
Example:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/dev.properties</filter>
</filters>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<include>jboss-web.xml</include>
<targetPath>WEB-INF</targetPath>
</resource>
.....
</build>
Cheers,
Paul
