I am not sure what you mean by "maven property". <localRepository> is
NOT a property. I found that while you can reference it like a property
with ${localRepository}, you do not get back the value given in the XML
element, but something different.
Perhaps my remark about using the local.repository property in profile
activation was confusing. I don't use that property to activate a
profile; I just use it to locate artifacts in the repo.
Activating profiles with properties works just fine. As:
<profile>
<id>integration-test</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>!maven.test.skip</name>
</property>
</activation>
....

Subject: Re: maven properties seem not to work in profile activation
feature
Hi Richard,
does this really work for you? I cannot manage to use a maven property
value for profile activation, neither if i declare the property in the
pom nor in settings.xml.
As far as i understand, maven property usage for activating profiles is
not supported.
The only solution - as far as i know - would be the implementation of a
custom profile activator.
Does this work for maven 2.0.8? Has anybody experiences with that?
