URGENT: Renaming files during compile time
Hi:
Here is what needs to be achieved:
I have 3 different configuration files: application-dev.properties,
application-int.properties, application-prod.properties. Depending on
the value taken by a certain variable (where and how do shoudl I define
this variable??), I need to have one of the above files copied to a
certain directory, and renamed.
How do I achieve this with Maven?
I have tried using the maven-dependency-plugin, but am not sure how to
define the artifacts...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>my-application</groupId>
<artifactId>application-prod.xml</artifactId>
<type>file</type>
<overWrite>false</overWrite>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>application.xml</destFileName>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

How about maven-antrun-plugin, using the Ant <copy> task?
About the variable naming, it depends on where the information comes
from - can it be set on the cmdline? Is it available as an environment
variable?
Profiles are a standard Maven mechanism to get the build to respond
differently to different conditions:

As others have mentioned, profiles are the proper way to proceed with
this requirement. This same thing was just discussed in the last day
or two, so check the archives or Nabble.com and you're bound to find
more examples and discussion on this topic.
About the "URGENT" in your subject -- I'd leave that out of future
emails. Every question on this list is urgent to the person who needs
the help. If anything, I actually go a little out of my way to IGNORE
these emails. Just FYI...

RE: URGENT: Renaming files during compile time

You should do this using profiles.
Typically you would define a profile for each environment
<profile>
<id>dev</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>target-env</name>
<value>dev</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<resource.filter.file>src/main/filters/dev.filter.properties</resource.f
ilter.file>
</properties>
</profile>
Depending on the env you want to build for dev/prod/stage , you can pass
in the appropriate value with -Dtarget-env=<env.name> when running a
maven goal.
I am not sure if you have a plugin that will rename the files (you can
definitely use a ant task to do that), instead the way its recommended
is by using a filter file instead.
Have the application.xml define variables for property values you want
to change, and replace those with values from the appropriate
environment filters file.
