[jira] Commented: (MNG-835) Default profile in pom.xml not activated
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-835?page=comments#action_46158 ]
Vincent Massol commented on MNG-835:
------------------------------------
Another idea is to add a new <always/> activation policy, as a nested element inside <activation>.

> Pasted email from mailing list explaining the problem. I've also ran "m2 projecthelp:active-profiles" and it doesn't show the profile as active.

> Hi,
> I want to allow cargo build users to override a plugin property. I have seen that using a <build> element is not allowed in a settings.xml file and Brett has suggested I use a <properties> element instead. However I also need to define a default value for the property that can be overridden.
> Thus I have defined the following in my project's pom.xml:
> [...]
> <build>
> <plugins>
> <plugin>
> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <systemProperties combine.children="append">
> <property>
> <name>cargo.containers</name>
> <value>${cargo.containers}</value>
> </property>
> [...]
> </systemProperties>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> </plugins>
> </build>
> <profiles>
> <profile>
> <id>default</id>
> <properties>
> <cargo.containers>jetty4xEmbedded</cargo.containers>
> </properties>
> </profile>
> </profiles>
> </project>
> I want cargo build users to be able to create a settings.xml file with the following for example:
> <settings>
> <profiles>
> <profile>
> <id>user-vmassol</id>
> <properties>
> <cargo.containers>resin3x</cargo.containers>
> </properties>
> </profile>
> </profiles>
> <activeProfiles>
> <activeProfile>user-vmassol</activeProfile>
> </activeProfiles>
> </settings>
> Is that the correct way to implement my use case?
> So far, the issue I've had is that the default profile created in pom.xml is not used when I issue a "m2 install" command. I've read on http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Build+Profiles that naming a profile "default" will automatically activate it. Isn't that so?
> If not how can I activate a profile defined in pom.xml by default?
> Thanks a lot
