Thanks , I'll already do it. So the example of target i give is not the good one.I need to load some properties that i don't know the value by advance. Our development center tag a version of application in cvs , and send us a file where are defined the version, the projectname, the moduleweb name, etc... This file is property type file and I want to use variable name under pom.xml with value loaded from this property file. So is it possible?
