Hi Janos,
I believe the proper "Maven2 way" of doing this would be with a single
set of files for all deployment environments with variable
substitution using values derived from profiles.
Then you issue "mvn package -P dev" and it uses the values from
profile "dev" when filtering the property files.
Here's an example:
project/web/pom.xml
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
project/profiles.xml
<profilesXml>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>local</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>local</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<proj.web.context>/local</proj.web.context>
<proj.web.uri>local.war</proj.web.uri>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>dev</id>
<properties>
<proj.web.context>/proj212</proj.web.context>
<proj.web.uri>web-2.1.2.war</proj.web.uri>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</profilesXml>
project/web/src/main/resources/META-INF/application.xml
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>${proj.web.uri}</web-uri>
<context-root>${proj.web.context}</context-root>
</web>
</module>
Then when the "filter resources" step occurs, your property values are
substituted for the variables in the resources, depending on which
profile you want to use for this build.
HTH.
