Here's a site for the plugin:

I've written a plugin that serves as a good utility in handling properties. Given the many questions on this mailing list about handling properties for different environments and I/O'ing them from files, I think this would help in alleviating this problem.
It has three goals (for now):
1. read-project-properties: Given a set of property files in name=value format, it reads them and stores them as project properties. This would be nice for those of us that store environment specific information in different property files.
2. write-project-properties: Writes project properties to a given file. Helpful when some properties need to be available at runtime (e.g.: Spring's PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer)
3. write-active-profile-properties: Writes the properties of any active profiles to a file.
The above three are the use cases that I've encountered. I'm sure there are many more.
If there is any interest in such a plugin, do respond to this and I will make a site for it and start the process of submitting a plugin to org.codehaus.mojo.
Thank you.
