Well - there are sure many different strategies. For your inspiration:

I do all my configuration edits in the templates (Shib2IdPInstall/src/installer/resources). A modified build.xml preserves my once self-generated certificate and extracts the front-channel certificate from an pfx-file (because it's short lifetime, and because it's Windows).

The biggest benefit: I can easily copy the resources from an test server to the production server because only the content of install.properties is different.
And I can call "install.bat installTarget" anytime and everything gets in place, no matter if something in the attribute-filter.xml, relying-party.xml, login.jsp or elsewhere has changed.

Kind regards.
