This is a Maven2 plugin and Ant Task to process configuration files using a set of rules and generate modified files. It is useful when you need to generate different files for heterogeneous environments and don't want to keep a copy for each one. This plugin aims to do the same things that XConf does but it is fully integrated with Maven and utilizes standard technologies like XPath.

• Add, remove, modify, comment and uncomment single values of .properties files keeping comments
• Add, remove and modify elements of XML files keeping comments
• Ant task with the same capabilities of the maven plugin
