Why would you need to that?

Because the properties for each environment you might build/deploy the
project in are different, e.g. QA's mail host is not the same as
Production's mail host. We keep each environment's properties file
under version control to simplify deployment -- we don't want to
introduce the potential for human error by editing a properties file.
We've used various ways of determining which properties file to use at
build-time -- it would be nice if Maven provided a more standard way
of doing it.
Thanks,
Jim
