Environment-specific Maven builds

Environment-specific builds in Maven allow developers to customize application configurations and resource packaging for different deployment environments, such as development, testing, and production^[600-developer__java__3-party__java-maven01.md].

Configuration

The core mechanism involves configuring the <build> section of the pom.xml to manage resources specifically^[600-developer__java__3-party__java-maven01.md]. By setting the <filtering> attribute to true, Maven enables variable substitution, allowing build-time injection of environment-specific values into resource files^[600-developer__java__3-party__java-maven01.md].

Resource Filtering

Developers can explicitly control which files are included or excluded from the build process using <includes> and <excludes> tags within the resource definition^[600-developer__java__3-party__java-maven01.md]. Note that in Maven's resource configuration, the excludes tag takes precedence over includes statements^[600-developer__java__3-party__java-maven01.md].
