Um... I thought the properties file wasn't in your JAR. If you put the properties file in another directory besides the resources directory, or if you exclude the properties files from the jar, but the properties files are still in the /src/main/resources directory, then your JAR will not rebuild if someone changes the properties files. HOWEVER, if the properties files are included in your jarfile. Yes, your jarfile will rebuild. Basically, whether your jar file rebuilds or not depends if any of the files inside the jar are changed. I've found Maven pretty good at keeping track of those types of things. -- David Weintraub [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
