Hi Ron,
thank you very much for your hint!
We are actual converting a "historical" ant builded project to maven.
Profiles are really a bad way to solve our problems, but in the moment it is "a 
way" to get the whole stuff running and be able to provide a release.

Providing configuration is just one problem, that we actually solve with 
profiles!
The major problem is to provide separate different dependencies for m2Eclipse 
and tomcat in the webapps.
We solve this with profiles and properties:

parentPom:

        <profiles>
                <profile>
                        <id>container</id>
                        <properties>
                                <scope>provided</scope>
                        </properties>
                </profile>
                <profile>
                        <id>eclipse</id>
                        <activation>
                                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
                        </activation>
                        <properties>
                                <scope>compile</scope>
                        </properties>
                </profile>
        </profiles>

ModulePom:
        <profiles>
                <profile>
                        <id>dependencies</id>
                        <activation>
                                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
                        </activation>
                        <dependencies>
                                <dependency>
                                        <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
                                        <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
                                        <scope>${scope}</scope>
                                </dependency>
                                <dependency>
                                        <groupId>xyz<groupId>
                                        <artifactId>xyz_common</artifactId>
                                        <scope>${scope}</scope>
                                </dependency>
                        </dependencies>
                </profile>
        </profiles>


That works for now, but we are not really happy yet!
We will provide all dependencies in tomcat/lib so we actual have all 
dependencies "provided" in our libraries.
So each webApp have to define it's dependencies (again), transitive 
dependencies are "switched off".
The other way would be to use the default (compile) dependencies in the 
libraries and exclude all transitive dependencies for production build.

Any better idea ?

Fredy

You will be back.
Search this forum for discussions of profiles and environments.
The road to Maven hell is paved with profiles.

Just as "good intentions" are wonderful on their own, profiles can lead 
you to do things that will get you into bad situations.
Not to say that they are evil in themselves and do not have good uses. 
This is not one of them.
