             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
