Filtering of resources using a templating engine (e.g. Freemarker)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3029
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3029
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Plugin Requests
Reporter: Sami Dalouche
Resource Filtering is often used to generate different configuration files for
different environments...
It often makes sense to use different values (debug set to true for the
development profile, to false for the production environment). However, it is
sometimes impossible to just switch values, and additional sections need to be
added or removed depending on the environment.
Additionally, the configuration could sometimes be cleaner by adopting
conventions based on the environment name. (if the application needs to connect
to 5 databases whose url depends on the environment name, only part of the
settings can be required in the .properties files).
That's why I believe it would be nice to have a plugin that would filter a set
of resources using some templating engine (freemarker, velocity, ...). Each
resource would then be a freemarker/velocity-compliant file, and the
possibilities then become endless :)
