including properties in the pom.xml from an external file

Hello !

Is there a way to include properties in a pom.xml from an external
file ? There was that possibility in Maveen 1 with a
project.properties, but I cant find anything in the documentation of
Maven 2 ...

Did this disappear ? For what reason ?

Thanks for your help !

Rex,

I find it just as easy to put the properties in my pom.xml. I put them at
the bottom so they are easy to find. Here are the properties I used in a
recent program (and now you know how out of date I am with that program)

    <properties>
        <spring.version>1.2.6</spring.version>
        <struts.version>1.3.5</struts.version>
        <quartz.version>1.5.2</quartz.version>
        <axis.version>1.3</axis.version>
    </properties>

Here is how I used one of them:

            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
                <version>${spring.version}</version>
                <scope>compile</scope>
            </dependency>

Thanks.

Take out the properties from pom file is sensible, it make it easy to
configuration.
I don't know whether profile can do this.

Yes, it is no longer available.

What is your use case? Most things can be handled with filters and/or
<properties> in your pom or profile.
