Maven resource filtering not working - because of spring boot dependency [duplicate]

Question

In a maven project I trying to replace some tokens using maven resource filtering but it does not work. I have some other projects which works but does not work in this single project not sure what is wrong.

The property files is in location /src/main/resources/my.properties

I tried different maven commands as below but does not work.

mvn clean install
mvn clean install resources:resources

my.properties

### Spring boot properties
jdbc.url=${jdbc.url}
ldap.domain=${ldap_domain}
ldap.url=${ldap_url}

Update:-

I figured out this problem is caused due to the spring boot dependency. If I comment the <parent> section and other spring boot dependencies, then it works fine and able to replace the token. But still not sure how to fix this by keeping spring boot.

Answer 1

At last found the answer from the link in my comments. As this is a spring boot application ...special case... the notations should be

@xxxxx@  instead of ${xxxxx}

So my property file would be as below

### Spring boot properties
[email protected]@
ldap.domain=@ldap_domain@
ldap.url=@ldap_url@
