It appears that profiles are intrinsically evil and more people misuse profiles than any other part of Maven.

I suspect that there are valid use cases for profiles but most of the time, they seem to cause people a lot more problems than they fix and they seem to encourage software development patterns that are the opposite of best practices.

Profile use seems to be a black hole that attracts new users and previous Ant users.

Until you have your build working properly without profiles, my advice is to stay away from them. Once you have your build working, then take a look at profiles to see if you can consolidate or simplify your builds with them.

Free advice and worth every penny.
