ENVM

Envm is an environment manager based on maven for Java projects. This is a fork of the woko maven plugin where we've just remove the dependencies on Woko framework.

Installation

Envm is a maven plugin, your pom.xml should look like :

<build>
    <finalName>MyApp</finalName>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.abnt</groupId>
            <artifactId>envm</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>envm.environment</id>
                    <phase>process-resources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>env</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

How it works

Envm allow to have different resources depending on the context (e.g. production, test, dev, etc.). They are plain folders under the project root :

* MyApp/
    environments/
        dev/
            log4j.properties
            hibernate.cfg.xml
        prod/
            log4j.properties
            hibernate.cfg.xml

You can switch from various environments easily by using :

$> mvn clean install -Denvm.env=dev

The plugin will recursively copy (and thereby possibly overwrite existing resources) the files found in the environment folder <project_root>/environments/myenv to the target/classes folder of your project.
