If you are attempting to filter resources in src/main and src/test, there
are a few "gotchas" to look out for. Generally, the format of your pom.xml
should be as follows:
// START POM.XML SNIPPET //
<project>
<build>
<!-- Filter resources -->
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/<your_filter_file>.properties</filter>
<filter>src/test/filters/<your_filter_file>.properties</filter>
</filters>
<!-- Resources for src/main -->
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
<!-- Resources for src/test -->
<testResources>
<testResource>
<directory>src/test/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</testResource>
</testResources>
</build>
</project>
// END POM.XML SNIPPET //
Here's the big GOTCHA: The POM.xml file only has one <filters> section,
which get APPLIED TO ALL RESOURCES. Therefore, if you have a src/main and a
src/test filter.properties file that have duplicate properties with
different values, they will conflict with one another.
Ideally, there would be some sort of way to specify <filters> and
<testFilters>. I'm a bit surprised this is not the case, since Maven
usually applies sensible defaults.
I got around this issues by making sure the properties in my test and main
filter.properties files were named differently. For example:
# src/main/database.properties
db.username=myUsername
db.password=myPassword
# src/main/database-test.properties
db.test.username=myTestUsername
db.test.password=myTestPassword
In this case, db.username will not conflict with db.test.username. Now just
make sure your resource files refer to the correct properties and you'll be
good to go!
I hope this saves somebody some time. I know it took me a while to figure
out!
