Good day to you, Ravi,
Put your properties file under src/main/filters ( or src/test/filters if its
for testing ). Then add it to your pom via
<project>
...
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/sample-filter-file.properties</filter>
</filters>
...
</project>
And in your sample-filter-file.properties, have something like this
outDir=C:/Output
another.property.name=another property value
and.so.on=and.so.forth
You can also take a look at [1] for more info.
Cheers,
Franz
