Multiple -P options
Hi Everyone,
Currently maven only handles a single -P option to activate profiles. I created
a small patch for this issue (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3268) that
allows -P to be specified multiple times on the command line. Before I apply
it, is this something that can go into maven 2.0.x? Or should this go only into
2.1?
Thanks!

Another use case as described in the issue is that if you script your call to
maven with a -P parameter, and then you want to pass an additional profile in
when calling the script, using multiple -P makes things simpler.

well, configuration on something like the release plugin can specify
-Papache-release and then the user might have a profile being activated from
the commandline of the release like -Pall-modules which results in whatever
is munging these things together has to find the different instances and to
do the right thing whereas if multiple -P options its simpler and less error
prone..

Why do you need multiple -P when you can specify -Pone,two,three ?

Yeah, you're probably talking about the same issue that I ran into
(MRELEASE-288) that caused me to look into this.

And -P!profile or -P-profile to remove it...
This is especially handy if you have one profile that is always active by
default... the hack of -Pdoesnotexist to disable it is not nice

Hello,
well there's "mvn help:active-profiles" for the active ones already - A
debugging option would be good too.
On the topic of profiles: I'd find it useful to have "-Pprofile" work as
usual, but "-P+profile" to add "profile" to the active profiles
*without* preventing the default ones from being activated.
Greetings,
David

Maybe a new option to help debugging would help. One that would printout all

Fair enough.
How do we avoid the problems that occur with typos in profile activation?
I've wasted a bit of time tracking down a typo when my build wasn't
behaving as expected because a profile was not activated.

The fact that a profile is activated from the command line or
settings.xml applies to the entire execution, which means if that
profile is exists in multiple modules, it will be activated in each of
them. The original issue for this was:

Profiles are only meant to be activated at the same directory that mvn
is run.
They don't get passed on down to modules. (I've had problems with this
misunderstanding before)
So why should there be lots of warnings?

Since we are asking "while you're there" questions.
What happens when you specify a profile that can not be activated?
With mvn 2.0.7 it silently ignores the missing profile, when I think
the build should fail with an error message indicating the profile
could not be activated.

Hi Everyone,
Currently maven only handles a single -P option to activate profiles. I
created
a small patch for this issue (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3268)
that
allows -P to be specified multiple times on the command line. Before I
apply
it, is this something that can go into maven 2.0.x? Or should this go
only into
2.1?
Thanks!
