Has anyone actually been able to get this working? All of the filtering
works fine for me, but the environment variable stuff does not. As a test I
have a properties file that contains:
${env.JAVA_HOME}
${user.home}
${pom.version}
After the process-resources phase (with filtering turn on in the pom), the
file looks like this:
${env.JAVA_HOME}
/home/build
1.2-SNAPSHOT
JAVA_HOME is definitely set, is there something I am doing wrong, or does
this just not work?

Hi Andreas!
Take a look at the Getting Started Guide
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html), section
"How do I filter resource files?". It explains how to reference the
elements of the pom.xml/settings.xml using property-names.
I´m currently working on a book that covers Maven 2 as part of a
pragmatic configuration management process and have done some "research"
concerning the usage of properties. AFAIK, properties are resolved in
the following order:
- The (hard-coded) property ${basedir} (contains the path of the POM-file)
- All Java System Properties defined by the JVM.
- All properties defined in the properties-element of the POM.
- All elements in pom.xml and settings.xml as stated above
- All (platform-specific) Environment variables (Just add the prefix
env. For example ${env.M2_HOME} returns the Maven2 installation path).
I´m not 100% sure about the list and appreciate any additions/corrections.
CU,
Gunther

Hi!
AFAIK, this only works _within_ the POM itself (i.e. in the
configuration section of plugins). I don´t know if it works for the
file-filtering stuff.

Gunther
