Active profiles defined in parent pom are not inherited in children pom -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4905 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4905 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Components: Apache or Maven Parent poms Affects Versions: 3.0 Environment: Windows XP 32 bits SP2 Reporter: BenoƮt Berthonneau I've a parent pom which contains 2 profiles based on the OS (eg "windows" and "not windows"). The activation tag i used to determine this and works fine in this pom. I've a child pom (eg a module of the parent pom) where I'd like to use the active profile to tune my build goal. But in this child pom I could not get the active profile. If I launch "mvn -P myProfile compile" it works fine everywhere (parent and child). I'd like to have the inheritance of the active profiles defined in a parent pom in all its children modules. Easy to reproduce but could give a test case if needed. -- 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
