maven-help-plugin:2.1.1:active-profiles doesn't display some active profiles under a specific set of circumstances:
- a parent pom containing a set of profiles, let's say 'dev' and 'prod' - a settings.xml that activates a locally defined plugin (let's call it 'repo'), and also activates the parent pom 'dev' profile thru <activeProfile> (<activeProfiles> has 2 lines, activates both 'repo' and 'dev') when you call 'mvn help:active-profiles' from the parent pom directory, it rightly displays: The following profiles are active: - dev (source: pom.xml) - repo (source: settings.xml) when you call the same from a child project inheriting the parent pom, it would only display 'repo' as active. The following profiles are active: - repo (source: settings.xml) Even when adding a '-Pdev' only repo would be displayed as active, even though the 'dev' profile IS ACTIVE and does it's job as expected. Sounds like a bug to me, but I could be mistaken for some reason. It would be totally counter intuitive if I were though, as 'dev' is active in a child project anyway. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/maven-help-plugin-bug-with-active-profiles-in-2-1-1-tp5521313p5521313.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
