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).

Cheers.
