Once you invoke the plugin on dev.properties, any properties in the file will become part of the build. So if the property file contained:
var1=value1 var2=value2 It would be the equivalent of you declaring the following in your pom.xml or settings.xml: <properties> <var1>value1</var1> <var2>value2</var2> </properties> So you can either: A) specify one property file which contains all your properties OR B) declare them manually in your pom.xml or settings.xml Note that you don't have to do both A and B, just one of them. I like the simplicity of A and the power to have multiple property files is also nice.
