Justin Edelson commented on MNG-3228:
-------------------------------------
This really isn't a bug in Maven. If anything, it's a minor documentation in
the help plugin. The profile is activated, it's just not an active profile for
the current project, so it doesn't appear in the list of active profiles. But
if you were to run help:effective-pom, you would see that the profile has take
effect.

> Fix For: 2.1.0-M3

> The goal is to activate a maven profile based on OS user name.
> When I create a standalone project with a profile activation, it works,
> however, when I define the profile in a "parent" pom, it is never activated.
> this works:
> ...
> <profile>
> <id>TONY</id>
> <activation>
> <property>
> <name>user.name</name>
> <value>WINTONY</value>
> </property>
> </activation>
> <properties>
> </properties>
>
> So in this case, my profile is activated based on my OS user name
