I.e. if a profile get's activated in a parent pom, anything that is part of this profile definition will be inherited as if it had been declared outside of the profile. However, the activation of the profile is inherited i.e. if you child POM declares a profile with the same profile id but without any activation section, it is nevertheless active and you can add or modify other POM elements. Those commands will help you to visualize the effects: mvn help:active-profiles mvn help:effective-pom - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
