Activate Profile
Hello,
Is there a way to configure a profile to be activated only if another
profile is not active? Let's say I have profile1, profile2 and profie3. I
only want to activate profile1 when profile2 is not active. How can I
achieve it?
Thanks
Yan

Can you do that by defining a property in your profile2 for example
profile2.activate and specify negative case activation in profile1
<property>!${profile.active}</profile>
Please try.

OK, I thought it's a bug that default activated profile is not used when
another is specified explicitly.
Why would one use the default activated profile? I think not for the reasons
to run it when another profile is not active. What if I have to specify some
another profile to execute (p3) and want to run p3 if p1 is not activated?

Yes I can agree with this behavior although documentation was not exactly
clear about that that why I posted bug a month ago:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3229
Now I agree that this is role of main build section not profile that
executes by default.

That's the way it's intended to work and it really should work this way,
IMO.

If you have somthing that should be configured or invoked always, it
simply does not belong into a profile, but in the default build section
(or wherever else it goes).

What I can say here...
I can send you my copy of maven and you send me your :)
Let's use our workarounds for now...

Wow ... in the earlier thread I had people confirming the behavior I
identified, i.e., activeByDefault is always active, and I could not
activate an alternative profile.
I'm also using 2.0.7.
I guess it's time to give up on this again and live with either changing
the profile for each configuration change, or not having any default and
always specifying it on the command line.
I just imply from the word "default" that it can be overridden.

It's opposite of what I have, at least on 2.0.7. If I activate different
profile it's taken into the account but not the default one. But I would
wanted the default one to be activated always not only when there where no
profiles specified (that is how I translate activate by default) - this is
exactly your behavior :)

If only it worked that way. I just started a thread about this very
problem.
When I attempt to activate a different profile on the Maven command
line, I _still_ get the activeByDefault profile, and not the one I wanted.
And the output from help:active-profiles is really odd.
See my thread on the subject "How to override an activeByDefault profile?"
I'd given up trying to solve this problem months ago, and thought I'd
try coming back to it.

The activator that is used for this is the "activeByDefault"
<profile>
<id>default</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
..
</profile>
If no other profile is active then this profile will be used. As soon
as another profile is active, this profile is knocked out. To have a
profile always on you place it in the "activeProfiles" element in your
settings.xml.
