Hi Gunther, >-----Original Message----- >From: ext Gunther Popp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>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've already read that section before, but I don't consider these two sentences explaining: First, it's mentioned at the wrong place (when I'm looking for available properties, I would go the the POM references, I think. But not where I filter resource files. Second: "To accomplish this in Maven, put a reference to the property that will contain the value into your resource file using the syntax ${<property name>}. The property can be one of the values defined in your pom.xml, a value defined in the user's settings.xml, a property defined in an external properties file, or a system property." Leaves a couple of questions: * What's the syntax of <property name>? Apparently some dot-separated grammar. * Does that apply to all elements in the POM? If yes, how are multiple children with the same name addressed? >- 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. A great list so far, thanks! _ __ _ _ //\ndreas.[|-bbert-[]/arroum(a)[|\|okia.com `- ` Andreas Ebbert-Karroum Software Design Engineer - Nokia Networks Services / Middleware phone: +49-211-94123928, fax: +49-211-9412-3838 Heltorfer Straße 1, 40472 Düsseldorf, Germany ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is confidential.
