Play Framework - debug & release configurations?

When developing a Play application, we use the standard configuration file in conf/application.conf. How can I use different conf files depending on whether I'm in debug or release mode?

Let's say you have prod.conf and debug.conf both in the conf folder, you can add the following system property:

-Dconfig.resource=(prod|debug).conf

if the files can't be packaged in the app in the conf folder and have to be external, for example, in /opt/conf, then you can add the following instead:

-Dconfig.file=/opt/conf/(prod|debug).conf

They can inherit a common configuration file and override values:

include "application.conf"
key.to.override=blah

See reference for more on this.
