Maven environment-specific packaging¶

Maven environment-specific packaging allows a project to adapt its build configuration and resource inclusions based on the target deployment environment (such as development, testing, or production).^[600-developer-java-3-party-java-maven01.md]

Resource Filtering and Inclusion¶

The core mechanism for environment-specific packaging in Maven involves configuring the <build> section of the pom.xml to manage which files are included or excluded during the resource filtering process^[600-developer-java-3-party-java-maven01.md]. By setting the <filtering> element to true and defining specific <includes> and <excludes> patterns, developers can ensure that only the configuration files relevant to a specific environment—such as app1.xml—are packaged into the final artifact^[600-developer-java-3-party-java-maven01.md].

Scope and System Dependencies¶

When handling environment-specific logic that relies on proprietary or non-public libraries, such as specific database drivers for an on-premise environment, Maven allows for dependency definitions using a system scope^[600-developer-java-3-party-java-maven01.md]. This approach permits the inclusion of local JAR files located directly within the project structure by specifying a relative <systemPath>, such as ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/yourJar.jar^[600-developer-java-3-party-java-maven01.md].
