Hi all,

It took me until today to realize that, as part of the new 
build.properties addition, we no longer have a "dspace.config" profile 
in our web application POMs.

Here's the change in the pull request #40 that removed this option:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/40/files#L6L67

In DSpace 1.8 & prior, you could specify the property 
"dspace.config=[path-to-a-dspace.cfg]" in your IDE of choice (e.g. 
NetBeans, IDEA), in order to tell that IDE to use a specific dspace.cfg 
during startup of a DSpace webapp.

This was a nice feature, as it allowed you to more easily run DSpace 
webapps from your IDE itself (and tweak/debug them on the fly).

With the addition of the 'build.properties' file, this feature was 
removed and seemingly hasn't been replaced with any equivalent (unless 
I'm overlooking it)?

I'm wondering if this is a mistake, or if we have an "undocumented" 
replacement that I'm overlooking?  What are others doing in their IDEs?

(I'm still an avid NetBeans user, but I know many of the concepts are 
the same between IDEA / Eclipse / Netbeans, so I'd be curious to hear 
from anyone about this.)

In the meantime, I'll keep digging around to see if there's a way to use 
build.properties to do what I need, or see if I can add back in the old 
"dspace.config" profile I used so heavily.
