profiles should be merged when inherited ----------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2275 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2275 Project: Maven 2 Type: Bug Components: Inheritence and Interpolation Versions: 2.0.4 Reporter: Brian Fox I have some default profiles setup in a super parent pom that all projects inherit from. In some projects I want to change the active profile, but not from the CLI because other projects running in the same multi-project build need to have the normal default. I attempted to work around this by setting the profile to be active on a property in the child pom. See below for parent and child. It appears that when I do this, the child profile replaces the parent. It should be merged so that the properties are pulled from the parent and uses the activation from the child. parent: <!-- Setup default profiles. --> <profiles> <profile> <id>dev</id> <properties> <profile-default.values>src/main/filters/dev-default.values</profile-default.values> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>auto-test</id> <properties> <profile-default.values>src/main/filters/auto-test-default.values</profile-default.values> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>man-test</id> <properties> <profile-default.values>src/main/filters/man-test-default.values</profile-default.values> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>prod</id> <properties> <profile-default.values>src/main/filters/prod-default.values</profile-default.values> </properties> </profile> </profiles> child pom.. <!-- This is the property to override for custom properties in this project--> <properties> <client-ct-package.values>${user.default.values}</client-ct-package.values> </properties> <build> <filters> <filter>${profile-default.values}</filter> <filter>${user.default.values}</filter> <filter>${client-ct-package.values}</filter> </filters> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> </resource> </resources> </build> <!-- temporary to activate the CT production values until all projects can have prod values --> <profiles> <profile> <id>prod</id> <activation> <property> <name>deploy-ct</name> </property> </activation> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
