    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>properties-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-alpha-2</version>
    <executions>
     <execution>
      <phase>initialize</phase>       
       <goals>
       <goal>read-project-properties</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
       <files>
        <file>../../maven_config.properties</file>
       </files>
      </configuration>
     </execution>
    </executions>
   </plugin>
   <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <executions>
     <execution>
      <id>prepare-jar</id>
      <phase>clean</phase>
      <goals>
       <goal>jar</goal>
      </goals>
     </execution>
    </executions>
   </plugin>
   <plugin>
    <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
    <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2</version>
    <executions>
     <execution>
      <phase>compile</phase>
      <goals>
       <goal>replace</goal>
      </goals>
     </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
     <includes>
      <include>target/classes/**/*.xml</include>
      <include>target/classes/**/*.properties</include>
     </includes>
     <token>@@portalname@@</token>
     <value>${portal.name}</value>
    </configuration>
   </plugin>
  </plugins>
 </build>
