Thomas Beauvais created MNG-5643: ------------------------------------ Summary: Profile properties in pom.xml don't override profile properties in settings.xml Key: MNG-5643 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5643 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: Thomas Beauvais Attachments: pom.xml, settings.xml
Profile properties in pom.xml don't override profile properties in settings.xml. The goal is to provide team developers with a single settings.xml with useful profiles. Then, each project will override profile properties if necessary. In the following example we want to switch the ${weblogic.host} property when enabled in the IDE or from the command line via: mvn -P stage What is curious is that overriding works when the profile being override exists in the same place as the profile that is doing the overriding. What this means is if all the profiles are in either the pom.xml OR settings.xml then everything works as expected. Normally, if the "stage" profile isn't actually present in the pom.xml I would get this: [WARNING] The requested profile "stage" could not be activated because it does not exist. But there is no warning about the profile "stage" because it does actually existing. The "stage" profile does exist in the pom.xml! Attached are sample pom.xml and settings.xml The command: mvn -P stage generate-resources The current output is: [INFO] --- maven-antrun-plugin:1.3:run (default) @ simple-web --- [INFO] Executing tasks [echo] WebLogic: localhost [INFO] Executed tasks The expected output is: [INFO] --- maven-antrun-plugin:1.3:run (default) @ simple-web --- [INFO] Executing tasks [echo] WebLogic: 192.168.0.123 [INFO] Executed tasks -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
