Brian Jackson commented on MRESOURCES-46:
-----------------------------------------
Two use cases I need that are currently not supported.
1) Conditionally include/exclude sections of a file based on property. This
is not possible currently
2) Inject file fragment into another file. We have a DAO framework that
generates a fragment of a config file. I would like to be able to inject this
generated file into a template of a full config file.
These relate to managing configuration files for our application. We have many
instance of our application with different config as well as differences per
instance across deployment environments. Example:
Football instance has 5 config files and is deployed to 4 environments,
local-dev, dev, qa, prod.
Baseball instance has 5 config files and is deployed to 4 environments,
local-dev, dev, qa, prod.
What sounds like 40 files is more since each developer has there own version of
local-dev. I'd like to reduce this to maintaining 5 templates for Football and
5 templates for Baseball with the environment differences specified in a Maven
profile. The config files would then be generated from the templates.
> Provide support for more complex filtering (Velocity, etc)

> My resources (ex. configuration files that have conditional blocks based on
> target environment) need more complex filtering then simple token
> replacement. Support for any templating language would be helpful. An
> abstraction to plugin the language desired would be even better.
