Hi! It seems that the profile activation isn't working for me, even though I explicitly tell Maven to activate it with the -P option.
Background: I have an external profile file (profiles.xml) that has some properties in each profile section: <profiles> <profile> <id>prof1</id> <properties> <MyProp>X</MyProc> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>prof2</id> <properties> <MyProp>Y</MyProc> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>prof3</id> <properties> <MyProp>Z</MyProc> </properties> </profile> </profiles> The resource file that I want to filter contains: # app.properties ... property=${MyProp} ... I've already turned resource filtering on in the top-level POM. If I do 'mvn help:effective-pom -Pprof1' (I tried with and without a space between '-P' and 'prof1', to no effect), sure enough, the filtering seems to be working: <project> ... <properties> <MyProp>Z</MyProp> </properties> </project> I can even confirm this by looking in the processes resource file: # app.properties ... property=Z ... For some reason I don't understand, it doesn't matter what profile I speficy with the -P option, Maven will consistently use the last profile (which sets the value 'Z', as described above). When I try to use the command 'mvn help:active-profiles' it also states that it has understood that there are 3 profiles: (output from mvn help:active-profiles) Active Profiles for Project '...': The following profiles are active: - prof1 (source: profiles.xml) - prof2 (source: profiles.xml) - prof3 (source: profiles.xml) ... What am I doing wrong? I suppose I could use the <activation>-tags (I have none specified at the moment because I'm assuming that the -P option takes care of that(?)) and activate a profile with 'mvn -Dprof1 ...', but that shouldn't be necessary, because the -P option should work, right? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Explicit-Profile-Activation-doesn%27t-work-for-me-tp834749p834749.html Sent from the maven users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
