URGENT: Renaming files during compile time

[Vaidya, Supriya A \(US - Chicago\)]

Hi:
 
Here is what needs to be achieved:
 
I have 3 different configuration files: application-dev.properties,
application-int.properties, application-prod.properties. Depending on
the value taken by a certain variable (where and how do shoudl I define
this variable??), I need to have one of the above files copied to a
certain directory, and renamed.
 
How do I achieve this with Maven?
 
I have tried using the maven-dependency-plugin, but am not sure how to
define the artifacts...
 
  <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>copy</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>copy</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <artifactItems>
                  <artifactItem>
                     <groupId>my-application</groupId>     
                    <artifactId>application-prod.xml</artifactId>
                     <type>file</type>
                     <overWrite>false</overWrite>
 
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
                     <destFileName>application.xml</destFileName>
                   </artifactItem>
                 </artifactItems>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
