title: Using an external .cfg file instead of defining Property files at build time
body: <p>Our project is using Apache Camel, with FuseESB and we are also utilizing Spring. Right now we have a handful of property files that we define when we build the project (with Maven). </p>
  
  <p>We want to move the property files to an external file that will be on each system (dev/qa/prod) and use that as the property file. </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out how I am going to do this. 
  There is more of course but this is relevant to the question I believe.
  I was looking at the <a href="http://camel.apache.org/properties.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Camel documentation</a> but I'm still a little bit confused on how to go about this.</p>
  
  <p>I was looking at this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4377667/sharing-a-configuration-file-between-osgi-bundles-in-apache-servicemix-4">post</a> at the question, and it seemed that I want to use that type of configuration but in my Spring xml file. </p>
  
  <p>I just need some general guidance with this,
  Thanks!</p>
