> I would expect each subproject to have the profile turned on or off depending on whether ${basedir}/file-to-check-for exists.
> Instead, during a multi-project build the profile is either on or off depending on whether the file exists relative to the *aggregator pom*. The decision is made once.
> Variable substitution doesn't work, so I can't explicitly use <exists>${basedir}/file-to-check-for</exists> or any variation on this theme to workaround the bug.
> Some background to my particular problem. I have 10 modules to build. Some of them are GUI modules and contain a file called plugin.xml in the subproject directory. I want to package these up specially and sign them, ready for deployment to webstart. The other modules are shared and server code and I don't want these packaged in the same way. So, I've got a dependency in my *parent* pom file which activates a profile called "guibundle" if a plugin.xml file exists in the subproject directory.
