CLONE - Maven profile activation does not work when profile is defined in
inherited 'parent' pom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5127
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5127
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Gilles Scokart
Assignee: John Casey
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

Active Profiles for Project 'com.capgemini.be.proj1:parent:pom:4.0.2':
The following profiles are active:
- TONY (source: pom)
------------------
However, if I now have the profiles definition in the "parent" pom, it doesn't
work when I build a child project
So the child project references the parent pom containing the profiles and the
activation, but when it is built,
the profile is not activated
PARENT POM:
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>TONY</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>user.name</name>
<value>WINTONY</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
...
CHILD POM (the one being built)
<project>
<parent>
<groupId>com.capgemini.be.proj1</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<version>4.0.2</version>
</parent>
