Interpolation of HTML files

This basic Maven operation has me stumped.  How can I get Maven to
interpolate HTML files that are in src/main/webapp?  Is filtering not
implicit when the WAR plugin copies files from src/main/webapp?

I have a typical web application with an index.html in src/main/webapp:

<HTML>
  The usual stuff
  ...
   ${server.url} link text 
  ...

In the POM I define a profile that defines the propety ${server.url}.  

<profile>
  <id>DEV</id>
  <properties>
    <property>
      <server.url>http://www.yahoo.com</server.url>
    ....

The profile is activated thusly

mvn clean install -P DEV

I know that the profile is being activated by viewing the properties listed
when I run with the -X flag.

Yet, the ${server.url} in index.html isn't being replaced by
http://www.yahoo.com.  

Can you please shed some light?

OK.  So that leads me to the question "how"?  

The docs only talk of filtering deployment descriptors
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-mojo.html) and
resources
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html).

No, it is not. You must specify it.

Yep.  That was it.  Thanks.

I did see that page earlier but dismissed it since I thought it applied to
external resources and I didn't consider src/main/webapp an "external
resource".

You live and learn.  

Thanks

As far as i understand the docs 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html
No...you have to explicit activate it for particular file types...

Kind regards
