Benjamin Bentmann updated MNG-4583: ----------------------------------- Attachment: MNG-4583.zip bq. For a multi-module build, it is common to activate a profile "foo" that may only be referenced in some of the modules in the reactor, so in that case, I don't think the warning should be printed at all And that's what Maven does. The attached example has two modules mod-a and mod-b, each with an equally named profile. Running "mvn validate -P mod-a" from the parent doesn't produce any warnings. > warning printed when a pom does not use an activated profile is poorly worded > and also should not be printed for multi-module builds > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-4583 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4583 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Profiles > Affects Versions: 2.0.11, 2.2.1, 3.0-alpha-6 > Reporter: Ian Springer > Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0-alpha-6 > > Attachments: MNG-4583.zip > > > This is a followup to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3641. Refer to that > issue for the background. > The current warning message is: > "Profile with id: '" + explicitProfileId + "' has not been activated." > I think this message is misleading, because the profile actually is activated > - it's just not used at all in the pom being processed. I suggest changing > the message to something like: > "Profile with id '" + explicitProfileId + "' is activated, but this pom does > not contain any usages of the profile." > Also, I don't think it makes sense to print this warning at all in a > multi-module build. In the large multi-module project I work on, we have a > number of profiles that are only used in a handful of the 50 or so modules. -- 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
