OK, I found a way to confirm... <activeProfiles> are always active!!!! Exactly what I wanted as documented :)
However, the problem persisted... until... I noticed that builds on the command line worked fine, as did 'install' e.t.c from within eclipse. However, the m2eclipse dependencies refused to update. Is it possible that the eclipse plugin has some internal cache that holds into dependencies and overrides those from maven? I also tried maven -> update dependencies, fail, I also did maven -> update project configuration, fail.... then I did maven -> update project configuration + force update of Snapshot / Releases..... SUCCESS. Why would m2e have a difference update/cache policy on dependencies to that of maven? Cheers. On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 11:06 AM, Richard W.
