And btw, the subject was "Are Maven profiles like ant targets" ? The answer was clearly no. I guess it also started with this :-). And I'm also really wondering why you try to use maven in what seems to me an ant-ish way. If you need more specific and totally unrelated tasks, and you don't want a predefined packaging lifecycle like maven provides you with, why don't you simply use ant alone? Imo, Ant can turn your head upside down to configure a whole project packaging/testing/site generation/etc. (I mean without things like Ivy or so, I guess). But it seems almost better than maven to execute a specific task in the way we sometimes do with specific plugin goal (still in my opinion).
