Answer 1

You can use Maven profiles to add a 'profile' property to the build:

    
        dev
        
            dev
        
    

Then pass the value into your application using a system property, here's an example with surefire:

    maven-surefire-plugin
    
        
            ${profile}
        
    

Finally this can be referenced in you application:

Alternatively, if you are using Spring 3.1 or later you might find the XML profile feature meets your needs (although it may be overkill).
