Active profiles repeated each time for all projects in reactor
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPH-45
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-45
Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sander Verhagen
Running the active-profiles goal in a multi-module project (with subsequently
more than one project in the reactor) will all the active profiles for all the
projects in the reactor, repeating this for every single project that is built,
resulting in exhaustive output.
Given that each showing of active profiles of a single project costs about
eight lines in output (including some whitelines; that's with only one profile
active), and us (over here) having 73 projects in the reactor, that's
(73-1)*(73-1)*8 output lines being wasted. That's a silly 41472 lines for a
simple "mvn install". Well, I suppose an even simpler "mvn clean" will do the
same ;-)
And now I'm not even getting started about the fact that these 73 projects all
share the same profile that they get from their top parent project.
Over here we have a custom maven-help-plugin version running that shows the
active profiles of every project in the reactor *only once*. I made the
assumption that profiles are not going to change during the coarse of a single
Maven execution.
Is this a patch that we would be generally interested in?
Or is this perhaps a bug in the <inheritence> behaviour of the plugin?
