How to instruct Maven to ignore my main/resources/persistence.xml in favor of test/…?

Question

I have two persistence.xml files, for the sake of testing:

• src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml
• src/test/resources/

I think you can create two profiles in your pom.xml:

  dev


  
    prod
    
      test
    
  

After that, in your src folder, create two folders named dev/resoruces and test/resources and copy your different resources there. After that, add something like this:

  
    ${basedir}/src/main/resources
    false
  
  
    ${basedir}/src/main/${environment}/resources
    true
  

The ${basedir} depends on the command line parameter, it can be test or dev. You run the maven command like this: mvn clean package -P test.
