> I have attached a test case to reproduce the problem. It has to be launched with profile "dev".
> I have a master pom.xml and a child pom.xml
> In the master pom.xml is defined a profile "dev", with a property set to the value "dev_pom.xml".
> In the child pom.xml, I display the value of the property with the ant plugin.
> There is also a file profiles.xml that overrides the property of the profile, with the value "dev_profiles.xml".
> If you run "mvn install -Pdev" on the child module, it displays "dev_profiles.xml".
> If you run "mvn antrun:run -Pdev" on the child module, it also displays "dev_profiles.xml".
> But if you run "mvn install -Pdev" on the master module, it displays "dev_pom.xml".
> It looks like the child module uses the value defined in the master pom, and ignores the fact that it has been overriden by profiles.xml. And this behavior occurs only if this child module is called through the master pom.
> Moreover, if you remove the value in the master pom, then the child pom is able to find the value in profiles.xml.
