Alexander Kriegisch commented on MNG-4917: ------------------------------------------ [~gnodet], feel free to not understand my semantic concern. After 14 years, I didn't have much hope that anyone would ever take it seriously anyway. Thanks for considering to enhance the documentation and for your feedback. > Profile not active even though it has activeByDefault set to true > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4917 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4917 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Profiles > Affects Versions: 3.0, 3.8.5 > Reporter: Benson Margulies > Assignee: Guillaume Nodet > Priority: Major > Attachments: pom.xml > > > I've got a parent pom with a profile with > <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>. > You can retrieve it for yourself via git clone > git://git.apache.org/webservices-xmlschema.git. > The problem is the sourcecheck profile in the parent pom. > running mvn -Psourcecheck works as expected, but running without the -P fails > to activate the profile. > the help plugin, I think, has separate problems in this area, or perhaps it's > not supposed to look at -P? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
