I'm wondering what is the best way to organize Spring Configurator directories in my Maven project ? I wan't to have prod,dev and test config sets with seperate *.xml and *.conf files. And also I'd like to have a seperate master *.xml file that is used in every config set.

Do I have to place *.xml and *.conf files in seperate directories ? Or could I just places them in the same dir , like so:

spring/
  test/application.xml
  test/params.conf
  dev/application.xml
  dev/params.conf
  prod/application.xml
  prod/params.conf

Thanks for help :)

Place them in a directory structure in a way that no redundancy exist on classpath. Eg: if your code searches for */application.xml file and you have all 3 on the classpath it will cause confusion

Also leverage the use of Maven build profile and assembly plugin. Configure it such that only relevant files are packaged for each build profile.
