Answer 1

You could use the filter option of the maven resources plugin , it does exactly that.

Variables can be included in your resources. These variables, denoted by the ${...} delimiters, can come from the system properties, your project properties, from your filter resources and from the command line.

Eg if you have a property url in your pom

<properties>
     <url>abc</ulr>  
</properties>

and your.properties file contains a value ${url} and you include the file in the resource section of the pom, then ${url} will be replaced in the output file in the build target location by abc upon issuing mvn resources:resources

<resource>
    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
    <filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
