Answer 1

Try just this :

 <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources/config</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.properties</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>  
</resources>

Answer 2

As described in the documentation mvn spring-boot:run adds src/main/resources in front of your classpath to support hot reload by default. You can turn this off easily

<build>
  ...
  <plugins>
    ...
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.2.7.RELEASE</version>
      <configuration>
        <addResources>false</addResources>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
    ...
  </plugins>
  ...
</build>

Since Spring Boot 1.3, in order to have resources filtered as expected, we have to use new @@ format:

some.key = @value@

instead of classic:

some.key = ${value}
