if you think about this a bit more you will realise that what you are asking for does not make sense (unless you are trying to configure the plugin that you are executing.
if you specify a plugin:mojo, then only that plugin:mojo will get executed. Adding other executions of other plugins to a profile and activating that profile will have ZERO effect on what happens, as only the plugin:mojo that you specified will be executed. try telling us a bit more about what your problem is and perhaps somebody can point you towards a solution.... but it sounds like you really want maven to be more like ant... maven is not ant, if you want ant use ant ;-) -Stephen 2009/8/5 Dominic Mitchell <d...@semantico.com> > Hi all, > > I'm wondering — is there a way to activate a profile based on the plugin > specified on the command line? > > The reason for this is that I'm working with a cocoon project.
