I have an application with maven as a build tool.

For a Spring Boot application, one can add a property in the Maven profile in pom.xml and then reference that property in application.properties.

Add Maven profiles to pom.xml with, for example, a property called spring.profile.from.maven:

    
        postgres
        
            true
        
        
            postgres
        
        
            
                org.springframework.boot
                spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
            
            
                org.postgresql
                postgresql
                runtime
            
        
    
    
        noDb
        
            noDb
        
    

Reference the Maven property in application.properties:

spring.profiles.include=@spring.profile.from.maven@

With this setup, running maven with the postgres Maven profile or with no profile adds the postgres Spring profile to the list of Spring's active profiles, while running maven with the noDb Maven profile adds the noDb Spring profile to the list of Spring's active profiles.
