Simon,

We have the same problem. We use one project but three build.properties files (build.dev.properties, build.uat.properties and build.live.properties).

In maven.xml we have three top level goals 'dev', 'uat' and 'live', which source the right properties file. We then use those properties as tokens to replace in files and to select files to copy to the target directory. For example the build.{env}.properties file would define both 'tomcat.home' and 'log4j.properties.file', and then we would do:

      <ant:filter token="tomcat.home" value="${tomcat.home}" />
<ant:copy file="${maven.src.dir}/conf/${log4j.properties.file}" tofile="${maven.war.webapp.dir}/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties" overwrite="true" filtering="true" />

this puts the right log4j file, with the right paths, in to the webapp directory, before the war is built.

I'm not sure this is the best way to do it, and I would love to hear how other people have done it. I like Bent André Solheim's solution as well.

Is there a canonical way to do this ? Every significant project must have the same issue.

 All the best,
 Graham.

I would like the ability to create more than 1 artefact from a single

Where the App-[env].jar file would contain configuration from src/conf/[env]
and no other src/conf directory.

I understand the underlying philosophy is 1 pom 1 artefact but I'm sure that
others must have come across similar problems and worked round them.

Regards
