Thanks for the suggestion.
I still think that there is a lack of properties files specific to a project.
Or at least I don't know the equivalent in m2.
Using profiles in settings.xml works fine but in my opinion settings.xml
should be used for settings that could be potentially shared accross projects.
The 'solution' I have found is to make my pom.xml reference a parent
pom. Something like:
<parent>
<groupId>org.jop</groupId>
<artifactId>user</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<relativePath>../user-pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
Where user-pom.xml contains user/project specific properties and each
individual developer is expected to adapt it to his own environment.
I must say that I don't find my solution very nice but it works too.

Hi Oscar,
I faced the same problem. I "solved" it by using a profile wich has
properties with valus to be configured by the
developer in settings.xml.
See
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
The profile is enabled using
aProfileName
because is not working yet.

Onderwerp: [m2] Properties files
Hi,
In m1 we could use user specific properties in the pom and these properties
could be read from some properties files.
What is the similar functionality in m2?
Here is what I have found that is somewhat related
- you can user -Dsome.property=some.value => It doesn't use a file.
- setting.xml for user specification configuration => you cannot use it to
set arbitrary properties for a specific pom.
- filtering => it allows to set properties to resources but not to poms.
- using the pom's properties element => the properties are set in the pom
itself, which is what I want to avoid.
- same as above, but move all the user specific properties in a parent pom
that could be customized by each user
The later approach seems to me the closest to the m1 user specific
properties files. I would however prefer a simpler properties file instead
of an xml (pom) file.
I am under the impression that I miss something.
What is the right to do it?
Thanks
Oscar
