profile activation based on presence of a dependency
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4366
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4366
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Profiles
Reporter: jieryn
It would be handy to have profile activation based on a dependency being
present. For example, I would like to be able to have a profile in my corporate
super-pom which gets activated when any of the projects at my corporation
(which use a parent of the super-pom) include log4j as a dependency. The
profile would automatically add a dependency on our custom Log4j appenders.
There are other uses as well, like if log4j is detected to be in the
dependency list, then unpack a maven-remote-resources-plugin bundle with a
log4j.xml.vm which gets velocity-processed for a default corporate-wide
configuration. This would best be chained with negative-file exist profile
activation for an existing log4j.xml.
