Declare external properties files

["Daroussin, Arnaud" <ar...@capgemini.com>]

Hello,

I read on the pom Reference page (http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Properties) we can declare properties in external files and use it in pom.xml.

I find a way to use external properties with resources filters but not in other case.

Can you explain how to do this ?

Thanks,

Arnaud.

That documentation is wrong, you can't store properties externally  
that are interpolated. I corrected the documentation and will be  
updated on the next site publish.

We keep the properties in the POM so that the information required to  
build is in a single resource. You can put all the properties you  
need in the POM and use profiles if you need different properties for  
different cases.
