many htanks for your answer John. The website mentions this restriction:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html "Profiles specified in external files (i.e in settings.xml or profiles.xml) are not portable in the strictest sense. (...) Therefore, you will only be able to modify the *repositories* and *pluginRepositories* sections, plus an extra *properties* section." But the book is confusing: check out the page 63 Thanks again John. Alexis On 8/2/06, John Casey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Well, it's giving you the correct feedback in that error message. In fact, there are two distinct types of profile in Maven. Those which are embedded in the POM have access to many more configuration points, since they will always travel with the POM (traversing a remote deployment, for example), and therefore don't constitute a portability issue. On the other hand, profiles which are declared in either the settings.xml or a project-specific profiles.xml will not be distributed with a project's artifact when it's deployed to the remote repository. Therefore, to keep these external profiles from affecting the build configuration represented by the project's POM, they are not allowed to do anything more than specify properties, pluginRepositories, and repositories. The short answer is that you cannot specify a <build/> section in an external profile. If the book doesn't make mention of this, it should be corrected.
