I am not precisely sure what the difference is, but from looking at the
filtering code in the maven-resources-plugin in the past, I know that it
does treat *.properties files differently than other files.
These things might make a difference, too:
1. What delimiters are you using for the tokens? ${} is probably more
likely to work than @@.
2. How are the properties specified? There is an issue with replacing
system properties (specified on the command line with -Dname=value). Are
you are using system properties in your token replacements?
3. Watch out for typos that might mess up the token replacement engine.
For example, an unmatched }, {, or @ character can mess up replacement.
As a real-world example of #3, the jboss-service.xml file that ships
with JBoss 4.0.3SP1 has a typo in it, and my token replacements weren't
working properly until I resolved it. This was the offending line (note
the paren instead of curly brace after jboss.server.home):
scans ${jboss.server.home)/deploy, which is always local

Hi,
I have a problem filtering property files (using maven 2.0.4):
Setup:
...
<build>
<finalName>planb</finalName>
<sourceDirectory>src/java</sourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>src/test</testSourceDirectory>
<filters>
<filter>${basedir}/context.properties</filter>
</filters>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/conf</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>context.xml</include>
<include>version.properties</include>
</includes>
</resource>
...
</resources>
...
</build>
...
Filtering of the above context.xml works fine, but filtering of
version.properties dosn't seem to work?
If I create a version.xml file instead an replaces it with
version.properties again it works... (any difference for *.xml contra
*.properties filtering?)
Ideally I would like to use settings.xml as filter instead of
context.properties but it only seems to work with context.properties...
Can anybody please help me with
1. why isn't version.properties being filtered?
2. why can't I use settings.xml as a filter?
Best Regards,
Claus
