I want to use Maven to handle artifact generation for the different local and testing regions. I believe I can use different profiles but I am not certain.
In Maven can I select different directories to select files used on packaging (such as application.properties)? How would I set that up?
An idea of what I want is to have a the following folders for resources in my project
- local
- build server
- dev
- sys
- prod
Each folder should contain a different version of application.resources which is a file in Spring that can be used to handle hard-coded strings for use in variables. For local builds- our developers also work on different operating systems. Should I require I want to make it seamless on different OS' also.
Key outcomes would be:
- Control Maven lifecycle phases from inside the IDE (IntelliJ)
- Not complicate phases and team processes
- Keep things as consistent for each developer
- Make the different configurations per developer/region appear invisible when running a phase e.g. install
Ideally I would have my project set up according to best practices (Duvall, Matyas, Glover).
