Hi Andreas!
Take a look at the Getting Started Guide
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html), section
"How do I filter resource files?". It explains how to reference the
elements of the pom.xml/settings.xml using property-names.
I´m currently working on a book that covers Maven 2 as part of a
pragmatic configuration management process and have done some "research"
concerning the usage of properties. AFAIK, properties are resolved in
the following order:
- The (hard-coded) property ${basedir} (contains the path of the POM-file)
- All Java System Properties defined by the JVM.
- All properties defined in the properties-element of the POM.
- All elements in pom.xml and settings.xml as stated above
- All (platform-specific) Environment variables (Just add the prefix
env. For example ${env.M2_HOME} returns the Maven2 installation path).
I´m not 100% sure about the list and appreciate any additions/corrections.
CU,
Gunther
