Maven if-else like behaviour

Question

I have a multi-module project in maven, where other projects need to use the jars according to the environment.

We have like 4 enviroenments 1.Dev 2.UAT 3.QA 4.PROD

There is a project which wants to use projectname-dev.jar for all three environments (i.e dev,uat,QA ) and projectname-prod.jar for PROD.

I did a google search for something like an if-else logic which I can use in maven profiles.

I can still create a new property for this specific project and change it to '-prod' when it goes into produciton, but thats an extra overhead that I do not want to add.

Are there any plugins I can use for this which will help me get the above work done without adding any kind of manual overhead to it.

Thanks

Isn't it what Maven profiles are intended to do? You can define different property values in different profiles and then activate one of them when performing a build.
