I'm working on a PR for http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4565, which is related to what happened in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3106 in that profiles with multiple activators undergo an OR instead of an AND.
If you want OR behaviour you can specify multiple profiles each with a single activator for the condition you want satisfied. It doesn't make any sense to OR multiple activators within a single profile because it's impossible to require multiple conditions to met for a profile to be activated. The Sonatype book is not our canonical documentation for Maven but has the only reference I can find describing the logic for multiple activators within a profile and it describes activators being AND'd: http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/profiles-sect-activation.html#profiles-sect-activation-config At the cost of potentially having to duplicate a profile to get OR behavior, at least it's possible to have AND behaviour with multiple activators being AND'd. In it's current form profile activation makes it impossible to do often required. Unless anyone objects I'm going to process http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4565 and make multiple activators be AND'd. It's just been implemented incorrectly.
