Paul Spencer commented on MNG-3034:
-----------------------------------
Jason,
This is a request for improvement. The "problem" is that I am having to cut
and paste one profile to many poms and then maintain each copy. By adding a
way to importing a profile, only one copy of the profile needs to be
maintained. Because the imported profile is in POM which is in the repository,
reproducibility of the build is maintained be default.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Profiles

> 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.
