Benjamin Bentmann updated MNG-4471: ----------------------------------- Attachment: pom.xml I slightly modified your test POM to allow for better testing. Running {noformat} mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:2.1:effective-pom -V {noformat} on this POM I get {noformat} ... <properties> <profile>ACTIVATED</profile> <test>M:\am\3.0-alpha-5\bin\..</test> </properties> </project> ... {noformat} in the console output, i.e. I failed to reproduce the issue. If you receive an effective POM using the above command where the property {{test}} is present but {{profile}} not, please attach this log and re-open the issue. In this case, it would also be nice to know whether Maven 2.x behaves differently. Otherwise, I assume the environment variable is simply not properly set on your machine, i.e. {{export M2_HOME=...}}. > Profile activation fails if <file> contains variables > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-4471 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4471 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Profiles > Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-5 > Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.2 > Reporter: J C > Attachments: pom.xml, testcase.xml > > > See the attached testcase. > The profile is not activated when <file> has variables in it: > <file><exists>${env.M2_HOME}/bin/mvn</exists></file> > But when the path is absolute, it works: > <file><exists>/my/maven/home/bin/mvn</exists></file> -- 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
