[Yanel-dev] Resource configuration parameters: Differentiating between Development, Testing, Staging and Production

[basZero]

sounds great, but I would not reinvent the wheel.
checkout Maven Profiles, they do exactly this.

if I remember correctly, Maven Profiles existed as separate files in version
2.x, from 3.x they have been integrated into Maven's settings.xsml:

http://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Profiles

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
