Dominik Bartholdi commented on MNG-5127:
----------------------------------------
Is there a final statement on this?
If think it clear that some kind of inheritance is needed for profiles - for
me, at least the activation of a profile must be inherited to the childs.
Having only the '-PmyProfile1,myProfile2' switch is not acceptable if one needs
to have multiple combinations of profiles.
What do you think about adding a new commandline option to allow this? e.g.:
$> mvn -inheritProfileActivation
This way I could activate multiple profiles with a single property, without
redefining the activation in each child pom.xml
$> mvn -inheritProfileActivation -DmyProfileSet
And if possible, I would even like to define 'inheritProfileActivation' in the
parent pom, so a user would not have to define it at all. To not have to change
the schema of the POM, we could use a property like:
"project.inheritProfileActivation" which could be reused in a future POM change
as a tag. (same way as for 'sourceEncoding':
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/POM+Element+for+Source+File+Encoding)
wdyt? I would spend time to implement this, but would this be accepted?

> 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.

> <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
