Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-3034: ------------------------------------ That's fine, but still package it up as something resembling a working build as then it's easier to lay it out as an integration test and play around with it. > 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. > Related thread: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg67252.html > 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> > Paul Spencer -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
