How-to: Configure usage of the wildcard environment for resources

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/environment_1_0" 
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/environment_1_0 
                      http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/environment_1_0.xsd">

  <environments>
    <environment description="Wildcard environment." id="*">
      <resources>
      </resource>
    </resources>
    </environment>

    ....

  </environments>
</configuration>

Define resources in the wildcard environment

Add resource a definition to the wildcard environment to enable usage of the resource in ALL defined and UNDEFINED environments:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/environment_1_0" 
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/environment_1_0 
                      http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/environment_1_0.xsd">

  <environments>
    <environment description="Wildcard environment." id="*">
      <resources>
        <resource plugin-id="com.alpha.pineapple.plugin.net" id="infrastructure-test"/>      
      </resource>
    </resources>
  </environment>

    ....

  </environments>
