Xavier Dury commented on MNG-2396:
----------------------------------

well, at first, I would like to have some auto-completion and validation 
capabilities when editing my profiles.xml file in my favourite IDE (tm).

second, I'd like to know why only a subset of the {pom.xml}/project/profiles 
can be included in the {profiles.xml}/settings/profiles?

For example, the build element cannot appear in the 
{profiles.xml}/settings/profiles/profile but if I want to use jetty for my 
tests, I wouldn't want it to "pollute" my pom.xml (other developpers don't like 
jetty) so putting it in profiles.xml would keep my pom.xml clean... but this is 
currently not possible.

Would that be possible or is it something you've already carefully thought 
about and decided not to allow?
