I had the same issue and wrote a simple plugin to actually read the file and make it part of a profile's properties using the Profile.setProperties(..) method. You can either do that or transfer the contents of the property file to your pom.xml using the syntax:
<properties> <myName>Raghurajan</myName> </properties> Zarar Siddiqi On 9/29/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
