Ian Springer commented on MNG-4583:
-----------------------------------
Interesting. That's not how activation is described in the docs
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html).
Hopefully, the docs will be updated for 3.0. Otherwise, the warning message
will continue to be confusing/misleading for users, as it has been for me.
> warning printed when a pom does not use an activated profile is poorly worded
> and also should not be printed for multi-module builds

> This is a followup to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3641. Refer to that
> issue for the background.
> The current warning message is:
> "Profile with id: '" + explicitProfileId + "' has not been activated."
> I think this message is misleading, because the profile actually is activated
> - it's just not used at all in the pom being processed. I suggest changing
> the message to something like:
> "Profile with id '" + explicitProfileId + "' is activated, but this pom does
> not contain any usages of the profile."
> Also, I don't think it makes sense to print this warning at all in a
> multi-module build. In the large multi-module project I work on, we have a
> number of profiles that are only used in a handful of the 50 or so modules.
