The way I've been doing it so far is by having:
project1
|_ src/resources
|_ env1
|_ [files or env1]
|_ envN
|_ [files or envN]
|_ shared
|_ [files shared by all envs]
|_ [...]
And then having the logic to choose the resource files based on a
env.name=env1|envN property.
See http://www.pivolis.com/pdf/Enterprise_Builds_V1.0.pdf, pages 9 to 11.
However, I have always thought this selection of resource files based on a
deployment environment is something that the build system should help with
(which was not really the case with m1 where you had to implement it in an
ad-hoc fashion). Hence my question for m2: is m2 going to help in this
domain?

I'm probably wrong then... :-)
