How do I add a .properti

Answer 1

I normally use an environments folder from which I pick a given configuration file based on the deploy variable. Ex.:

from("environments/system.${env}.properties"){
        include "system.${env}.properties"
        into 'WEB-INF'
        rename("system.${env}.properties", 'system.properties')
}

the property is passed through gradle as:

./gradlew buildDocker  -Penv=prod
