1. Maven 2 upgrade - using setting.xml or profiles.xml for iut profile
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-647
Apparently maven doesn't want to encourage items in the settings.xml
to affect the build, but we do. Specifically, we want to have the
user's settings.xml to provide settings to run the iut. Any suggestions?
From
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html:
Profiles specified in external files (i.e in settings.xml or
profiles.xml) are not portable in the strictest sense. Anything
that seems to stand a high chance of changing the result of the
build is restricted to the inline profiles in the POM. Things like
repository lists could simply be a proprietary repository of
approved artifacts, and won't change the outcome of the build.
Therefore, you will only be able to modify the <repositories> and
<pluginRepositories> sections, plus an extra <properties> section.
The <properties> section allows you to specify free-form key-value
pairs which will be included in the interpolation process for the
POM. This allows you to specify a plugin configuration in the form
of ${profile.provided.path}.
I don't understand what they are suggesting be done with a
${profile.provided.path} property.
