You can use WAR overlays [http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/overlays.html] for making different war project for different distributions and also different EAR projects to match needed WAR project.

We have slightly different configurations that we need to test. For
this very reason we need to build and test different profiles. This
can include different web.xml files so I don't think externalising is
an option in this case.

Thanks,

Depends on *why* you're trying to do that, which is why I asked what
problem you're trying to solve.

In general... either externalize the configuration or pack it all
inside and use something that can select the right file so that you
move the exact same war through the (I assume) different environments.

If you build a war for QA, test it, and then build a war for
production and deploy it... what have you *really* tested?
