Hi All,

as a possible workaround for having different set of properties used by differnt branches I'm trying to utilize the Branch properties.

The idea is to use teamcity.build.vcs.branch.My_Project value as a parameter for Maven profile activation like this:

<profile>
            <id>develop</id>
            <activation>
                <property>
                    <name>teamcity.build.vcs.branch.Diligesoft_SOA</name>
                    <value>refs/heads/develop</value>
                </property>
            </activation>
...

but I'm not sure if it supposed to be propagated to the Maven at the build time.

Is the Branch property (teamcity.build.vcs.branch.My_Project) can be used by Maven? If it can, how to access it?

Thanks!

I will share the solution (works good for me).

For anybody looking for the way to pass branch properties from TeamCity to Maven - you can use 'Additional Maven command line parameters' field:

-Dteamcity.build.vcs.branch.My_Project=%teamcity.build.vcs.branch.My_Project%

Dmitry,

Thank you for sharing the results!
Seems, you should also be able to define system property (in Build Parameters settings section) with the name teamcity.build.vcs.branch.My_Project and value %teamcity.build.vcs.branch.My_Project%.
