Hi, Looks like this maven plugin could feet your needs : http://haroon.sis.utoronto.ca/zarar/properties-maven-plugin/index.html
<http://haroon.sis.utoronto.ca/zarar/properties-maven-plugin/index.html>I planned to use it in a near future but I'm asking myself some questions : When this plugin is plugged in ? In the earlier phase of the lifecycle, it could be plugged on the validate phase ... what if properties were needed earlier (for example, properties won't be usable for parent pom variabilisation) ? Is validate phase sufficient for variabilized dependencies and its resolution ? To my mind, this plugin is useful since it allows us to share parameters between poms without having to use pom inheritance (for me, pom inheritance should not be done for properties sharing !.. It should be done for behaviour sharing) My 2 cents, Frédéric On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 10:54 AM, Armin Ehrenfels < armin.ehrenf...@t-online.de> wrote: > Hi, > > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html > > HTH > > Armin > > > Am 27.08.2010 10:16, schrieb Sebastian Oerding: > > Hello, >> >> I want to use properties from external files in a pom.xml?
