I added a proposal for some profile activation/deactivation improvements here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Improvements+to+Profile+Activation+Deactivation
Please take a look and add comments if you are interested.
Thanks!

D/E were meant to work in cases where the - leading character might
be a problem. If it's never a problem, we don't need them. If the
only argument to the -P option can be something like "-

2.0.x and 2.1 work the same after your change. "+" means activate and "-" means
deactivate. I'm guessing it was just a typo in 2.1 that had them reversed.
What's the reason for the D: and E: syntax? Do we need these if +,-,!, can be
used?

I looked at the logic for +/- the other day (when I added E: and D:,

may still be broken in 2.0.x, not sure...

Same use case here.
IMHO having a distinction between "-P profile" and "-P +profile" is
acceptable. "-P profile" may work as it does today (specify the exact list
of profiles, whith auto-disabled default ones). For backward compatibility,
but also to enable exclusive profiles switching.

Would a concept of profile groups help to determine which profiles are
meant to be mutually exclusive?
I use mutually exclusive profiles for different deployment
configurations, for example development and production. By default,
the development profile is actived by default, so currently

Unless some severe drawback is reported, +1 on this because "!" is quite
