body: <p>In a maven project I trying to replace some tokens using maven resource filtering but it does not work. I have some other projects which works but does not work in this single project not sure what is wrong.</p>
  
  <p>The property files is in location /src/main/resources/my.properties</p>
  
  <p>I tried different maven commands as below but does not work. </p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn clean install
  mvn clean install resources:resources

  <p><strong>Update:-</strong></p>
  
  <p>I figured out this problem is caused due to the spring boot dependency.
  If I comment the <code>&lt;parent&gt;</code> section and other spring boot dependencies, then it works fine and able to replace the token. But still not sure how to fix this by keeping spring boot.</p>
