Konrad Windszus commented on MNG-6609: -------------------------------------- [~rfscholte] Thanks for your input, but I haven't really understood how you can use {{inherited}} to only inherit to modules of a specific packaging but not to the other. Setting {{<inherited>jar</inherited>}} on the common parent pom is clear, but how do I make sure that those plugin settings are really used by "jar" packaging only? Also in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/POM+Model+Version+5.0.0 I haven't found this mentioned... > Profile activation by packaging > -------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6609 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6609 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Profiles > Affects Versions: 3.6.0 > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > > Due to the lack of mixins, it is common that modules which use different > packagings share the same parent pom. As those often use different > dependencies/plugins, it would be nice to have profiles which are activated > based on the packaging of a module. That is currently not possible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
