I have a build plugin configured like so:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>assemble-archives</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<skipAssembly>true</skipAssembly> <!-- Overridden by profile
build-dist-archives -->
</configuration>
</plugin>
I am trying to override its configuration in a profile that I would
like enabled by default:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>build-dist-archives</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skipAssembly>false</skipAssembly> <!--
Override setting in default profile build/plugins for this module -->
<attach>false</attach>
<tarLongFileMode>gnu</tarLongFileMode>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/dist-assembly-unix.xml</descriptor>
<descriptor>src/assembly/dist-assembly-win.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
I would expect that when I run `mvn package`, the
`build-dist-archives` profile is active and therefore the
maven-assembly-plugin SHOULD have skipAssembly=false. In the output
from Maven I see:
[INFO] --- maven-assembly-plugin:3.3.0:single (assemble-archives) @
exist-distribution ---
[INFO] Assemblies have been skipped per configuration of the
skipAssembly parameter.
This implies that skipAssembly was true.
However... if I manually enable the profile by running `mvn package -P
build-dist-archives`, then the maven-assembly-plugin does indeed have
skipAssembly=false, and the assembly is correctly built.
Can anyone tell me why the ` <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>`
on the profile is being ignored?
