properties-maven-plugin

Hi,

I've created a properties-maven-plugin which is described in a message
on the dev mailing list:

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.

I've made a site for the plugin:

http://individual.utoronto.ca/zarar/properties-maven-plugin/site/

I was wondering what you thought of the usefulness of such a plugin
and whether it might be a candidate for active development and
maintenance.

Thanks,
Zarar
