Properties defined in top-level profiles.xml do no propagate to child modules
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2157
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2157
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: POM
Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Jason Dillon
Priority: Blocker
I have a multi-module build, and at the top-level I have a profile called
'release-environment', which is activated by -Denv=release.
I need the local release build to use different values for JDBC configuration
to run integration tests, and defined them in a profiles.xml:
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>local-release-environment</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>env</name>
<value>release</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<jdbc.username>mif_jason</jdbc.username>
<jdbc.password>mif_jason</jdbc.password>
<jdbc.schema>MIF_JASON</jdbc.schema>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
{code}
My project looks like:
pom.xml
merchant/pom.xml
merchant/core/pom.xml
merchant/services/pom.xml
If i put profiles.xml as a peer to pom.xml and run {{mvn clean install
-Denv=release}} from the top-level, I get errors because the properties are not
propagated to the merchant/core/pom.xml module.
If I put profiles.xml as a peer to merchant/core/pom.xml and run {{mvn clean
install -Denv=release}}, then it works as expected... properties are set as
they are defined in profiles.xml.
But, this is not manageable, as I need to set some properties for all of the
modules in a multi-module build... But I don't want to use those properties for
all Maven2 projects, so I can not really put it into ~/.m2/settings.xml
I had expected that a top-level profiles.xml would work, but it does not. Is
this by design, is there another recommend way to provide per-top-level
multi-module project configuration on a local user basis (ie. no pom.xml
modifications)?
