Question

There is a task to process placeholders in ejb xml descriptors time during a compilation.
For example {app.name}-Bean must become App-Bean if app.name=App.
In ideal way this should be supported by m2e life cycle plugin systems, to support deploy from the Eclipse.

Answer 1

You may want to check if you can use the filtering property provided by <resources> section of the pom for this.

You can define <filters> which can get applied.
