How to get external properties values to maven

[ra...@jpmchase.com]

Hi All

I'm trying to get some value from external properties file how can i get 
it

For eg,

        I have one external property like "ext.properties" inthat i have 
property defined ad "myName=Raghurajan"

        Now i need to have this value in manifest file 

        so i included as follows
        <plugin>
                  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                <archive>
                    <manifestEntries>
                        <Personname>${myname}</Personname>
                    </manifestEntries>
                        <manifest>
                            <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
          </plugin>


But when manifest is created i just see "Personname ${myname}" its not 
susituted i with the actual value... is there something wron i'm doing 
here ??
i have filtering as true for this property file in my resource section 
still its not working

Can anyone advise please



Thanks,
Raghurajan Gurunathan

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>
