Finally, I achived (I hope so, tell me if I'm wrong by pointing at some pitfalls). Here is the updated version of the POM file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.spot.sncf</groupId> <artifactId>java_cukes</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <name>java_cukes</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3.2</version> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <reportPlugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.3</version> </plugin> </reportPlugins> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> </resource> </resources> </build> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> <profiles> <profile> <id>toto</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> <properties> <host>http://toto.com</host> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>yoyo</id> <properties> <host>http://yoyo.com</host> </properties> </profile> </profiles> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>info.cukes</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId> <version>1.0.14</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>info.cukes</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId> <version>1.0.14</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>4.10</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> Call the host propoerty in Java: public Person() { initProperies(); System.out.println("Got system properties: " + properties.getProperty("host")); } private void initProperies(){ properties = new Properties(); try { properties.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/app.properties")); } catch (IOException ex) { Logger.getLogger(Person.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } } I put the app.properties file in src/mai/resources with the following content: host=${host} And it worked for me.
