Sitelookup

Sitelookup is a (very small) java library which discovers the current site (or environment) by chossing from a set of predefined sites. Additionally you can define site specific properties.

With sitelookup you can have only one artefact (e.g. war file) which behaves differently in different runtime environments (e.g. development, test, production, integration, development of Person A, development of Person B, etc.).

You can achieve a similar result, by building different artefacts for the different runtime environments.
