PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer works from Maven command line, but not from Eclipse?

I have Eclipse configured to use an external maven instance. Nonetheless I have an integration test that runs fine from the command line, but fails from within Eclipse. The error is a class Spring application context bean error:

Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type

The culprit it a bean that sets property values using a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.

<!-- property settings for non-JNDI database connections -->
<bean id="placeholderConfigUuid" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
    <property name="location" value="classpath:database.properties" />
    <property name="placeholderPrefix" value="$DS{" />
</bean>

I know which bean is failing because it appears in the stack trace and because when I replace the $DS{hibernate.dialect} with a static value it works.

EDIT: Here is where the property values are used:

<bean id="myTestLocalEmf" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="myapp-core" />
    .......ommitted for brevity.......
    <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
        <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
            <property name="showSql" value="true" />
            <!-- The following use the PropertyPlac开发者_Go百科eholderConfigurer but it doesn't work in Eclipse -->
            <property name="database" value="$DS{hibernate.database}" />
            <property name="databasePlatform" value="$DS{hibernate.dialect}" />
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>

I have two questions:

1) Since M2Eclipse is using the same Maven setup as the command line, why does one work and the other fail? 2) How to fix this? I really like the ability to run a single jUnit test from within Eclipse on demand.

• Does filtering work for a "regular" unit test under Eclipse?
• Is m2eclipse configured to process resources and tests resources on resource changes:

• Is there anything particular to mention about your integration tests (from a Maven point of view)?

You are using M2Eclipse (up-to-date release?) you are using Maven 3 inside Eclipse, but i assume you are using Maven 2 (2.2.1?) on command line...On the other side you are saying that your "Integration test" is running on command line (build an environment etc.) but you would like to run "Unit Test" from within Eclipse...A Unit Test is different from an integration test...and i'm not astonished that you integration test does not work from Eclipse...May be we can say more if we see the POM's which are used and the code?
