[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2485?page=comments#action_71633 ] Olivier Pichon commented on MNG-2485: -------------------------------------
Running mvn help:effective-pom (assuming that the child pom has no <profiles> section) shows that the parent's <profiles> section is not inherited. . The last line of the "Introduction to the POM" page says (in broken English): "NOTE: Profile inheritance the same inheritance strategy as used for the POM itself." What does this mean? > Profile compiler plugin configuration not inherited > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2485 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2485 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritence and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: Windows XP, 2K > Reporter: Olivier Pichon > > Compiler plugin configuration in parent pom profile is ignored by child pom. > Parent pom includes a profile which sets the compiler plugin's source and > target settings to 1.5: > <project> > ... > <profiles> > <profile> > <id>test</id> > <activation> > <property> > <name>test</name> > <value>true</value> > </property> > </activation> > <build> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <inherited>true</inherited> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> > <configuration> > <target>1.5</target> > <source>1.5</source> > </configuration> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </build> > </profile> > </profiles> > </project> > When running the test-compile phase on a child pom, the profile is ignored. > Maven complains about annotations not being allowed with -source=1.3. > This occurs when the profile is activated eitherwith the -Ptest or with the > -Dtest=true CLI parameters. > The above configuration works perfectly well when the <profiles> element is > copied/pasted to the child pom. -- 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
