Maven does allow you to override properties defined in the properties
files. In fact, the properties files have a well defined processing
order that's described here:
http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Properties_Processing
So, if you have a standard set of properties for one environment,
perhaps dev, you might define them in the project.properties file. You
could then override any or all of those properties with definitions in
${project.home}/build.properties, or ${user.home}/build.properties, or
even at the command line using the -Dproperty=value syntax.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: how to 'point' to another properties file
Hi, this is a real need. I need:
1 Change the property file name by command line;
2 Or, change the property value in Maven.xml (the current solution only
enable change to properties to plugin, which is not good enough in my
case).
I had been working on creating a process to use Maven in our production.
But there are few properties are different from dev environment to
stage/ft/production.
I cannot find way to change properties after defined in the property
files. This might be a blocker if cannot be solved. I had tried to setup
different project.xml for different environment. But this is an
expensive solution. Any suggestion?
