I am still trying to get my head around the concept of user profiles
(using Maven2). Here is what I do in Ant:
1. Let's say we have a project called "leonardo".
2. To work with my Ant process the user is required to have a directory
called $HOME/.leonardorc and an environment variable called
$LEONARDO_EXT that contains his current configurational profile.
3. $HOME/.leonardorc contains customer properties files. Let's say:
db.properties.${LEONARDO_EXT}, c3p0.properties.${LEONARDO_EXT},
tomcat.properties.${LEONARDO_EXT}. They all contain configurational info
specific to that user's current profile (set by LEONARD_EXT).
4. The moment a user tries to do something (build, deploy, whatever).
Some of those files will be copied to the "right" place in the project
repository, and some will be directly referenced in the Ant build
script. Of course, the extension of ${LEONARDO_EXT} will be removed upon
copy.
I'd really appreciate if somebody could explain to me how to achieve the
same flexibility with Maven. Note: the above-mentioned property files
have to be the entities that specify the user configuration.
Thanks a lot beforehand!
