Hi Mick, I personnaly had to define a different filter file regarding the target environment, in my super POM :
... <modules> <module>../module1</module> ... </modules> ... <build> <filters> <filter>${parent.relativePath}/src/main/filters/filter-${env}.properties</filter> </filters> ... </build> ... Each module defines the parent in its own POM : <project> <parent> <groupId>...</groupId> <artifactId>parent</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <relativePath>../parent</relativePath><!-- required for filters --> </parent> ... I had to use ${parent.relativePath} as Maven seems to resolve the filter path for each module relative to its basedir. I guess that ${parent.root} property is undefined in your case... In my project, the ${env} property is set through the profile mechanism, in my super POM also : ... <profiles> <profile> <id>local</id> <properties> <env>local</env> </properties> </profile> ... </profiles> ... I use 'mvn -P local' as command line instruction, then...
