Hi John,
ok, I see what you mean:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
Can atleast <dependencies> be allowed in profiles.xml. I have a use-case
where it would make sense to have them in profiles.xml.
The use-case is as follows:
Lets says I have a web-project that sets up profiles.xml for target build
environments that it can be deployed on. Target environments can each have
different J2EE containers.
Now this is what happens when I put my project up for builds/deploys.
1) Set up a build control project, a minimal pom.xml that has contains SCM
connection to my web-project above.
2) checksout profiles.xml first so now the build control project has a
minimal pom + profiles.xml.
3) checks out the web-project under ${basedir}/target
4) I can activate a particular profile, based on which some operations can
be done by a custom Plugin before an embedded instance of maven is spawned
and some goals (specific to that profile) are delegated down to the checked
out project.
I got steps - 1, 2, 3 working and 4 working partially (delegation) but I am
hitting a blocker with the profiles :-( and can't reuse them.
Would it make sense to introduce <dependencies> to external profiles.xml so
these can be selectively included when a profile is activated. I would like
to invite a discussion on this and see if it merits it.
Thoughts please?
Cheers,
Rahul

You cannot specify anything but properties, repositories, and
pluginRepositories (IIRC) outside of the POM itself. This is to help
ensure that POMs remain portable.

Has any one tried setting up dependencies in Profiles? The profiles.xml
that I am using looks as follows: <profiles>
<profile>
<id>tc-int</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>target</name>
<value>tc-int</value>
</property>
</activation>
<dependencies>
<dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-core-container-tomcat</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies> ......
</profile>
</profiles>
Am I missing something here? I am referring to the POM descriptor online
to create profiles. Much appreciate pointers and thanks in advance for
any! Cheers, Rahul
