Hi, Lars, didn't really check, but I assume that this configures the Profiles, which are being activated whenever Maven is building the project. You can configure, what is most likely the same list via Project Properties/Maven/"Active Maven Profiles".
Profiles are typically used to adapt a Maven project to varying situations/environments. Examples: - A profile might detect, if JDK 5 (or elder) is used for running Maven and (if so) pull in additional dependencies. - A profile might be activated for release builds only and activate slow build steps like building web site, and Javadocs. For details, see [1].
