Override Java constant using Maven?

Using Maven, is it possible to override a Java constant?

Imagine I have 

public static final String buildBy="Eclipse";

which when using Maven shall be changed to

public static final String buildBy="Maven";

Is that possible? Thanks :-)

The other possibility is to use the templating maven plugin which can be used to fulfill such purposes.

This is kind of Properties and should go to resource directory /src/main/resources where can be easily changed by maven (filtered).

Yes this is possible with filters. But you'd have to put the file under your resource directory. You could put the java file under the resource directory, but a much better way would be to extract the value into a property file, put that file under resources and have maven filter the property file.
