How to share database properties in Maven 3 multi modules projects?

Question

Let's assume there are 2 applications. The POM hierarchy might look like this:

   parent
   --> system A
   --> system B

Both systems are supposed to be able to connect to the same database.

Each system has 2 profiles: Development (embedded DB) and Production (MySQL).

How can I use Maven to share the database connection information (user, path, driver etc.) for each profile ACROSS BOTH systems (I'm using resource filtering)?

Answer 1

Just store the properties for those information in the appropriate profile.
