right. if you ran from the parent, and the parent specified these child POMs as modules (or sub-modules), then you'd get a listing of all POMs in the build, and the profiles which are active for each.

I think this may explain what I was seeing.. I have a parent pom.xml which defines 2 profiles. When I run mvn help:active-profiles for the child, I couldn't get it to say that either profile was active. So perhaps the profile is active in the parent but not in the child? -----Original Message----- From: John Casey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 3:20 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Profile Inheritance Actually, profiles themselves are NOT inherited as such. Instead, they are triggered when the parent POM delcaring them is loaded, and applied to that parent POM. Then, the effects of the profile are inherited via normal parent inheritance calculation. It's a small difference in most cases, but it can be important to understand. -john On 8/14/06, Craig McClanahan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 8/14/06, Douglas Ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Are profiles inherited from the parent pom? > > > They are supposed to be, although there have been a few issues here and > there.
