-------------------------------------------
I dont think setting a profile activeByDefault really does what it is suppoded
to or at least not what the document says. Find below the link that has the
description of the issue
http://markmail.org/message/5xfhhzrmkiakxvzr
The workaround that I am using currently is
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>dev</id>
<activation> <property> <name>env</name> <value>dev</value> </property>
</activation>
<properties><blah>true</blah></properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>prod</id>
<activation> <property> <name>env</name> <value>prod</value>
</property> </activation>
<properties><blah>false</blah></properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>qa</id>
<activation> <property> <name>env</name> <value>qa</value> </property>
</activation>
<properties><blah>false</blah></properties>
</profile>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>dev</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
</profiles>
So I have the default profile to be the the active profile and make sure the
default profile description (here dev) is listed as the first profile in the
settings.xml. So if i activated any other profile through its respective
activation condition it would override the default profile. Although both
profiles are really active it looks like the one that is defined the last in
the settings.xml overrides the previous ones.
> Active by default profile is ignored when another is specified explicitly.

> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Profiles
> Affects Versions: 2.0.7
> Reporter: Oleksandr Maksymchuk
> Fix For: Documentation Deficit
>
>
> When default profile is added its used only when there is no another profile
> specified to be used on command line via -P option.
> So in the pom containig:
> <profile>
> <id>default</id>
> <activation>
> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
> </activation>
> <profile>
> <id>dev</id>
> <!-- Not active, should be called explicitly. -->
> default profile is used only when running command without -P dev
> mvn
> but not used when running:
> mvn -P dev
> Expected: should be used in both variants as per doc.
