Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-2157. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Fix Version/s: (was: 3.0-alpha-7) Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Properties defined in top-level profiles.xml do no propagate to child modules > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2157 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2157 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: POM > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Reporter: Jason Dillon > Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Priority: Blocker > > I have a multi-module build, and at the top-level I have a profile called > 'release-environment', which is activated by -Denv=release. > I need the local release build to use different values for JDBC configuration > to run integration tests, and defined them in a profiles.xml: > {code} > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <settings> > <profiles> > <profile> > <id>local-release-environment</id> > <activation> > <property> > <name>env</name> > <value>release</value> > </property> > </activation> > > <properties> > <jdbc.username>mif_jason</jdbc.username> > <jdbc.password>mif_jason</jdbc.password> > <jdbc.schema>MIF_JASON</jdbc.schema> > </properties> > </profile> > </profiles> > > </settings> > {code} > My project looks like: > pom.xml > merchant/pom.xml > merchant/core/pom.xml > merchant/services/pom.xml > If i put profiles.xml as a peer to pom.xml and run {{mvn clean install > -Denv=release}} from the top-level, I get errors because the properties are > not propagated to the merchant/core/pom.xml module. > If I put profiles.xml as a peer to merchant/core/pom.xml and run {{mvn clean > install -Denv=release}}, then it works as expected... properties are set as > they are defined in profiles.xml. > But, this is not manageable, as I need to set some properties for all of the > modules in a multi-module build... But I don't want to use those properties > for all Maven2 projects, so I can not really put it into ~/.m2/settings.xml > I had expected that a top-level profiles.xml would work, but it does not. Is > this by design, is there another recommend way to provide per-top-level > multi-module project configuration on a local user basis (ie. no pom.xml > modifications)? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
