maven-antrunner-plugin-demo

Simple demo for managing configuration files with maven-antrunner-plugin.

Demo contains Spring Boot application with with just one controller available on

http://localhost:8080

This controller display name of the application which is defined in application.properties

Running application

Commonly there, are two ways of running this application:

Using Spring Boot run configuration from Intelij

This approach will use file src/main/resources/application.properties and displayed name will be

My demo app - name from application.properties

Using maven

mvn spring-boot:run

This approach will use file src/main/resources/MyAppApplication.properties and displayed name will be

maven ant runner demo application - name from myAppApplication.properties - moved by maven-antrunner-plugin

Properties file will be changed during compilation phase.

Why?

Of course in real life file MyAppApplication.properties should be not available in scm:). There should be only myAppApplication.sample.properties with dummy data
