Development location specific filtering

[Niranjan Rao <nh...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

I am not much of maven expert and many members of my team are even more 
inexperienced when it comes to maven. So we are trying to keep it as 
simple as possible for developers. The team is geographically 
distributed in multiple locations.

In order to keep it simple, we have set up "developer" as default 
profile and just ask developers to import pom.xml in eclipse. Resource 
filtering and other functionality works as expected and this set up 
works for us in most of the cases.

We are now facing some problems. Remote locations are now building their 
own database server locally to improve local performance and avoid 
crossing firewalls. Resource filtering is now getting broken as the 
server names do follow local customs and requirements and may not be 
same across all locations.

One way I know of is to put some entries in <home>/.m2/settings.xml. We 
would like to avoid this as much as possible as its maintenance 
headache. Is it possible to "include" a settings file or have a location 
specific file where we can put some of these values and automatically 
use this file for all developers at given location. One time changes to 
settings.xml are ok,

Goal is all developers in given location should be able to get location 
specific values such as local db server name as transparently as possible.

Thanks,

Niranjan

You may find the "-gs" and "-s" command line options for Maven to be
useful in this specific scenario.
