My understanding of maven 2 is that build.properties and
project.properties are no longer required or even read. Am I mistaken?
Please note that there is a top level project (nicweb) with several
second-tier modules that actually contain the property key references. I
assume that, if I run the "mvn install" from the top-level, that all
modules will share the read properties.
There are several properties (which I probably should have referred to
as 'application' properties, but I don't think it matters) in my app.
The one I am using for testing is:
>> nicweb.ufs.application.properties.location =
/etc/jboss/iaportal/nicweb/nicweb-ufs-application.properties
Maybe I am misunderstanding the concept of profiles, and what the
<properties> tag actual represents. I wish there were more real-life
examples in the documentation. (Maybe I just haven't found it??)
Thanks,
Mike

I think the precedence for properties is:
command line
~/build.properties
<project> build.properties
<project> project.properties
<parent_project> build.properties
<parent_project> project.properties
So I have no idea why your (4) didn't work. What is the value name?

I'm new to maven2 and can't seem to figure out how to replace my old
build.properties.
I've done *all* of the following:
(1) Created ~/.m2/settings.xml:
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>project_name</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<system.property.name>
system_property_value
</system.property.name>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
(2) Createed ${PROJECT_HOME}/profiles.xml (with the assumption that this
is used for all modules as well):
<profilesXml>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>project_name</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<system.property.name>
system_property_value
</system.property.name>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</profilesXml>
(3) Added filters to top-level pom.xml, and referenced my old
build.properties file. In this instance, *some* of my resources had the
properties properly inserted, but not the ones that count. For example,
web.xml was filtered within the target/classes directory, but *not*
within the target/${PROJECT_NAME}/WEB-INF directory, nor the actual
repository version.
(4) Tried CLI maven -Dsystem.property.name=system_property_value clean
install - nothing...
(5) Of course, all of my property keys are written as
${system.property.name} within my module resoures.
This *has* to be an easy task, but I just am not getting it! Can anyone
provide some assistance, maybe in the form of a good example file(s)?
By the way, I don't want the key/value pairs defined in my pom.xml
(unless they are referencing the value as a variable).
Thanks.
Mike
