I tried everything now: set activeByDefault to true, delete activeByDefault entirely, delete the activeProfiles section, refreshed the settings in Eclipse (what gives the error: Error on adding indexing context local; Cannot find file D:\projekte\.metadata\.plugins\org.maven.ide.eclipse\nexus\local\_y.fnm )
always same result: when I execute help:active-profiles on the top-pom 'There are no active profiles'. I am absolutely frustrated with Maven. I'm pretty sure activeByDefault is not used in settings, this is for the pom only. That's what the activeProfiles section is for. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Connolly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 6:27 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: from workaround to workaround 3 On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 9:45 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > By the way, the settings.xml contains this: > > <profile> > > <id>jboss</id> > > <activation> > > <activeByDefault/> > > > You need to change this to > > <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> > > as > > assert "true".equalsIgnoreCase("") == false; > > > > </activation> > > <properties> > > <dbdriver>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</dbdriver> > > <dbuser>ing_epa</dbuser> > > <dbpassword>ing_epa</dbpassword> > > <dburl>jdbc:oracle:thin:@deneb:1521:WLP</dburl> > > ... > > </properties> > > </profile> > > </profiles> > > > > <activeProfiles> > > <activeProfile>jboss</activeProfile> > > </activeProfiles> > > > > [Winter, Wolfgang] okay, maybe.
