I am building a webapplication using Spring Boot, and wish to externalize my configuration. I wish to do this for both my spring.datasource.* information, and other information, which I can apparently inject using @Value("${name}"), for example.

I was wondering where I can actually place this file during development (on a Windows machine), and for production (on a Linux machine), in a way that keeps sensitive information out of my code versioning system.

You can place a application.properties aside to the fat-jar, so you don't need to provide the sensitive properties at buildtime and keep them out of your VCS.

Have a look at boots reference guide - externalized configuration section for your several options. And this section for location-order.
