Default module inheritence into profiles is rather frustrating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3427
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3427
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Profiles
Affects Versions: 2.0.8
Reporter: Justin Koke
I guess I will describe my use case and then look at the possible options I can
currently think of.
We currently have a project that needs to build with Clover, however this
project is multi-module and has a few modules that Clover really does not like
so we need to exclude them. We are trying to tackle some of this separately
with the Clover guys, but it still raises some questions around Maven profiles
and module inheritance.
When we run a release we want all modules to be included, but to do this I have
needed to do the following, since profiles inherit default modules:
{code:xml}
<modules>
<module>crowd-core</module>
<module>crowd-web-app</module>
<module>crowd-demo-app</module>
<module>crowd-migration</module>
<module>crowd-language</module>
<module>crowd-acceptance-test</module>
<module>crowd-upgrader</module>
<module>crowd-importer</module>
<module>crowd-openid-client</module>
<module>crowd-openid-server</module>
<module>crowd-integration</module>
<module>crowd-integration-acegi</module>
<module>crowd-integration-atlassian-user</module>
<module>crowd-integration-fisheye</module>
<module>crowd-integration-jive</module>
<module>crowd-integration-osuser</module>
<module>crowd-integration-seraph</module>
</modules>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>standalone</id>
<modules>
<module>crowd-client-libraries</module>
<module>crowd-integration-client</module>
<module>crowd-javadoc</module>
<module>crowd-tomcat-libraries</module>
</modules>
</profile>
</profiles>
{code}
Note, the standalone module that has been added here that contains all modules
in our project.
I have had to do this because I can't define a profile that just contains
*just* the modules I want, or a profile that excludes given modules. Being able
to do either of these things would be fantastic!
