Active-by-default profiles from settings.xml are not active without pom.xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2918 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2918 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Wish Components: Profiles Affects Versions: 2.0.5 Reporter: Roman Alekseenkov Attachments: settings.xml I use Archiva as Maven proxy, see Maven settings file attached for details. It contains only one profile that is active by default and contains repository URLs on our local area network. If I try to build a specific project, which has pom.xml of course, the profile is being activated and downloads appropriate artifacts from the proxy server. However, when I execute a specific plugin goal without any project, Maven downloads all required artifacts from its central repository, which indicated that the profile hasn't been activated. I'm not sure, whether it is a bug or not. Anyway, it would be good to have _all_ traffic going through the proxy server. C:\Java>mvn archetype:create [INFO] Scanning for projects...
