The roller-custom.properties is dependent for each user (mail settings, database settings, etc.), I don't think we should hardcode it into the pom.xml files or place it in src/main/resources, as it might end up getting checked into SVN that way. We already have common defaults in roller.properties, placing "common" config in roller-custom would seem to defeat the purpose of that file.

I just place my roller-custom.properties in my $CATALINA_HOME/lib folder and it works beautifully there, I can redeploy the Roller WAR (mvn tomcat7:redeploy) umpteen times and that file is always read. I don't need to place it in the Roller source folders or alter the pom. How are you incorporating webby with Roller -- I'm confused (webby is a Ruby app). Instead of configuring roller-customer.properties in Roller, can't you add it to whatever servlet container you're using to host Roller?

Also, there is a need to have a local version of roller-custom.properties,
what would be the correct maven way of doing this?

eg:

<resource>
                 <!-- Enable our custom override properties -->
                 <directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
                 <filtering>true</filtering>
                 <includes>
                     <include>roller-custom.properties</include>
                 </includes>
             </resource>

we could add this to the pom so we only need then copy in the file
roller-custom.properties to /src/main/resources to run locally.

Cheers Greg.
