Plugin Documentation

Goals available for this plugin:

GoalDescription
spring:loadLoad a Spring context XML file optionally filtering it using Maven properties before doing so. If exportProperties is true, Maven properties are exported to the file system prior to loading and filtering the Spring context. The path to the exported properties file is automatically added to the Maven properties under the key maven.spring.properties. This combination allows the injection of Maven properties into a Spring context by setting filterContext=true in the Maven pom and adding one line to the Spring XML configuration file:
<context:property-placeholder location="${maven.spring.properties}" />
OR
<util:properties id="mavenProperties" location="${maven.spring.properties}" />
