I'm converting an old project to maven and I have a question re: spring. This project has about 20 spring config files and it reads them all in on startup and uses the In addition I have 4 properties files (local/dev/qa/prod) that I'd like to use to inject/filter/substitute values into them depending on the build. Lastly I am using the eclipse plugin to generate an eclipse project. What I need to know is the following :
1) where should I put the spring files? I am considering src/main/resources/spring 2) how should I best filter the props files? Should I use maven for this (using profiles in some way), or should I load the files in the app and use the spring properties configurator? 3) what is the best way to use the eclipse plugin to generate a project where I can run the app and it can see the newly filtered spring files (instead of the src ones)? Can anyone help me out? I'd certainly give more info if needed.
