Nvm - I'm using the filters now and have a list:
<filters>
<filter>src/main/filters/filter.properties</filter> default one
<filter>${user.home}/${pom.name}.properties</filter> usr override
per project
<filter>${user.home}/${pom.name}-${pom.version}.properties</filter> user
override per project per version
</filters>
Is this the right way to do this?

Subject: Config files
I thought I had a solution for this, but I'm left wondering now.
say I have a config file with a db connection string in it. By default,
users should be able to build/connect/test/etc. So I created a filter
and am applying that filter to these config files.
But say a user wants to override this setting. I created a profile in
my settings.xml file:
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<db.port>9999</db.port>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
But this port setting is ignored (and when I comment it out from the
filter file, it simply isn't expanded).
What am I missing?
