I am trying to setup an integration-test environment using Maven for my project but am getting the below error when I run the Compile goal.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.0.2:resources (default-resources) on project mavenintegrationtest: Error loading property file '/Users/xxx/dev/poc/java/mavenintegrationtest/profiles/dev/config.properties' -> [Help 1]
The error seems to be complaining that it cant find the config.properties file in that location which is correct. For some reason it has removed the "src/main/resources" bit from the file path.
So the correct full path is,
/Users/xxx/dev/poc/java/mavenintegrationtest/src/main/resources/profiles/dev/config.properties
but for some reason its removed src/main/resources and so is looking in,
/Users/xxx/dev/poc/java/mavenintegrationtest/profiles/dev/config.properties
Does anyone know whats causing this ?
My POM is as shown below and I get this error when I uncomment the following "filter" tag,
<filter>${basedir}/profiles/${build.profile.id}/config.properties</filter>
I've tried removing the ${basedir} statement and still get the same error.

The filter
(link) element will parse your files and apply a content filter on them.
The profiles
(link) element helps you define different environments for the build.
All of this as to do with your resources. These can be configuration files, or other type of files. If you filter then you can change the content of this files with other values - e.g. pom properties. When using profiles you can have different replacement properties for each environment.
You should move the profiles up in the tree for the default path, or add a configuration in your pom for the resource location.
The base dir
is the folder containing your pom. You should have your profile folder here.
Also, here is some good information about profiles and its configurations.
