Hi,
I am clearly not understanding how properties propagate in maven...
I have a multi-module project where I have a root pom.xml
(<packaging>pom</packaging>) and a number of child modules.
In my root pom.xml I have this:
<properties>
<createDb>false</createDb>
</properties>
In one of the my child module's pom.xml I have the following:
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>SkipDbCreationIsTrue</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>createDb</name>
<value>false</name>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<skipDbCreation>true</skipDbCreation>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>SkipDbCreationIsFalse</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>createDb</name>
<value>true</name>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<skipDbCreation>false</skipDbCreation>
</properties>
</profile>
<profiles>
...
When I do mvn help:active-profiles neither of these profiles are
active! However, when I specify the property directly on the command
line, depending on its value, the correct profile gets activated. It's
as if 'createDb' property, which I am using to do activation, is not
there at the time maven decides which profiles to use.
I could place the 'createDb' property into settings.xml, but I don't
want to do that for reasons outside the scope of this question.
Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong here? I already checked the
spelling of the property in both places and it's correct...
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Yaakov.
