Herve Boutemy updated MNG-2363: ------------------------------- Description: I would expect each subproject to have the profile turned on or off depending on whether {{${basedir\}/file-to-check-for}} exists. Instead, during a multi-project build the profile is either on or off depending on whether the file exists relative to the *aggregator pom*. The decision is made once. Variable substitution doesn't work, so I can't explicitly use {{<exists>${basedir\}/file-to-check-for</exists>}} or any variation on this theme to workaround the bug. Some background to my particular problem. I have 10 modules to build. Some of them are GUI modules and contain a file called plugin.xml in the subproject directory. I want to package these up specially and sign them, ready for deployment to webstart. The other modules are shared and server code and I don't want these packaged in the same way. So, I've got a dependency in my *parent* pom file which activates a profile called "guibundle" if a plugin.xml file exists in the subproject directory. was: I would expect each subproject to have the profile turned on or off depending on whether ${basedir}/file-to-check-for exists.
