Global resources for a multi-module project

[Oren Livne <ol...@aoce.utah.edu>]

Dear All,

Question 1:
I am trying to build a multi-module maven 2 project. I would like to 
declare some global resources
that all modules should include in their jars/wars. Let's take as an 
example the following structure:

parent project: parent
modules: module1, module2, module3

I created parent/src/main/resources/application.properties,  ran "mvn 
clean package" and expected
to see in each target directory and jar that file, e.g. 
parent/module1/target/main/resources/application.properties.
But that didn't happen. I tried it with and without declaring

  <build>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
     </resources>
  </build>

at my top level pom, but that didn't help. How can I declare global 
resources?

Question 2:
I would like to change some resources depending on the deployment 
environment. E.g., application.resources
might contain database connection information, so I thought of putting 
each deployment in a separate dir:

resources.dev/application.resources
resource.production/application.resources
etc.

How can I tell the pom to use only one of those directories as the 
resource directory, depending on
a command line argument? say, "mvn -Dconfig.name=dev" to use 
resources.dev. I am familiar with
filtering, but how do I declare the right resource directory in the pom 
using a filter parameter?

Thanks so much in advance,
Oren
