    copied!<p>I would like to define properties in .properties files using info from maven; e.g. app.name=project.build.artifactId.</p> <p>If I invoke resources:resources at build time, it makes a file named *.properties in my TARGET folder (in eclipse) containing app.name with (hopefully) my artifactId.</p> <p>However, when I run a java application through eclipse, does it use the file found in /target, or does it use the version from /src/main/resources (which contains the variable placeholder and not the value itself)?</p> <p>Edits:</p> <p>Here is he code I wish to use a "filtered" value for:</p> <pre><code>// Get project version from maven resource filtering static { Properties prop = new Properties(); try { // load a properties file prop.load(new FileInputStream("src/main/resources/project.properties")); // get the property value and print it out System.out.println(prop.getProperty("app.version")); } catch (IOException ex) { logger.error("Error (1): Failed to get application version from configuration file"); System.out.println("Unexpected error (1). Aborting..."); } } </code></pre> <p>Relevant info from project's POM.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;build&gt; &lt;!-- Resource filtering --&gt; &lt;resources&gt; &lt;resource&gt; &lt;directory&gt;src/main/resources&lt;/directory&gt; &lt;filtering&gt;true&lt;/filtering&gt; &lt;includes&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/*.properties&lt;/include&gt; &lt;/includes&gt; &lt;/resource&gt; &lt;/resources&gt; &lt;/build&gt; </code></pre> <p>project.properties contents:</p> <pre><code>app.version=${project.build.version} </code></pre> <p>When I run the project through eclipse (not executing the JAR), the output of the first segment (in the static block) returns "${project.build.version}" literally. It doesn't actually return the value of the project's tags.</p> <p>I have even tried running resources:resources first to see if that did anything, but it didn't. How exactly does resource filtering work - or better yet, when are you actually supposed to use it?</p>
