settings.xml active profiles executed AFTER project profiles have been loaded
and activated/not activated
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3614
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3614
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Inheritance and Interpolation, Profiles, Settings
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Environment: Solaris 5.10, ubuntu hardy x64
Reporter: Donald Abrams
Priority: Minor
If you have the following settings.xml in ~/.m2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>userSettings</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<someproperty>true</someproperty>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>userSettings</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
</settings>
and another child pom.xml somewhere down the line has a profile with an
activation like this:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>with-something</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
<property>
<name>someproperty</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
</activation>
</profile>
</profiles>
</project>
During run-time, the profile with-something will load before userSettings.
This causes with-something to be incorrectly not activated (as the property
someproperty does not exist). This can be seen with mvn help:active-profiles.
I know why this is true, but it is non-intuitive and one would expect
settings.xml profiles to be loaded before anything else.
