Re: How would I read a non-standard property file?

[Arik Kfir]

I don't think Maven can do that out of the box - but you can add a line in your maven.xml file that does that - just make sure it puts them in the right context. Also, that *could* make a nice plugin, so you can use it in other projects as well ;-) cheers,     Arik.

Does a tag like <properties file="other.props"/> or so exists? I' m very well aware that Maven tries to read "build.properties" from ${user.home}. So I could simply append "other.props" into my user specific build.properties but that that's not what I want. Basically I want to be able to do something like: maven -Dmy.prop.file="other.properties" .. Also, there should be no difference between properties taken from "other.properties" and "project.properties". I have the feeling that I can't do this. Am I correct? Regards.
