Import a profile into a POM
---------------------------
Key: MNG-3034
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3034
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Profiles
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Reporter: Paul Spencer
I am finding that profiles are very powerful. As I make more use of them across
projects, many of which are unrelated, I find myself copying a profile from one
POM to another. Placing profiles in a POM the is extended is impractical
because each change to a profile in the POM will prompt a release cycle of the
POM and every project that extends the POM.

Below is how I would expect to use profile importing.
***
* POM of project which imports the profiles cargo_tomcat_remote and
* cargo_jetty_remote and selenium-integration-test.
***
<project>
...
<groupId>com.foo.applications</groupId>
<artifactId>webapp_1</artifactId>
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>cargo_tomcat_remote</id>
<groupId>com.foo.profiles</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<activation>
...
</activation>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>cargo_jetty_remote</id>
<groupId>com.foo.profiles</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<!-- used activation rules in imported profile -->
...
</profile>
<profile>
<id>selenium-integration-test</id>
<groupId>com.foo.profiles</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<!-- used activation rules in imported profile -->
...
</profile>
</project>
***
* POM of project which defines 2 profiles, cargo_tomcat_remote and
* cargo_jetty_remote.
***
<project>
...
<groupId>com.foo.profiles</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>cargo_tomcat_remote</id>
...
</profile>
<profile>
<id>cargo_jetty_remote</id>
<activation>
...
</activation>
</profile>
</project>
