properties-maven-plugin

[Zarar Siddiqi]

Hi,

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

-----
http://tinyurl.com/y2e429

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

I really didn't understand what these goals do. Which properties are
written where? Is this to make some sort of Properties object out of the
pom? Will it inject properties into the project?
