I have the same needs though I use ANT to call Maven from Eclipse and switch command line parameters to switch profiles. Not sure if this is best practices but it sure works nicely for me! :D

Hi Adam, we've got the same needs. Unfortunately I haven't found out the way to do this. As a result I use the "activate by property" feature. But event his way doesn't not work smoothly. Actually in a parent pom, if I set the property activate.profile1 for example, its value is correctly passed to the child poms but nevertheless profile1 is not active! :( Only the property set in the command line makes it work.
