The problem is that it's probably a poorly named element. It was meant to help with profile-group semantics, where your build would activate one of a set of profiles...or, if none were explicitly activated, then one of them would be activated by default.
If you'd like a different behavior, I'd suggest filing a JIRA request for it, and we can look into it for 2.1. -john On 8/9/06, Arik Kfir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
