maven2 release and profiles

[Attila Mezei-Horvati <at...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

I am trying to do a release and I bumped into the
following:

when I do mvn release:prepare if I try to specify
profiles on the commandline (as -DprofileName which
works when doing mvn install) they are ignored. I read
the documentation and observed there is a
release-profile I can use. I did and it worked. 

However I have the following issues with it:

1. I have 3 profiles I need to apply. I have to copy
them into this one release-profile for the sake of one
release. Since we have one codebase with different
settings for different partners and I need a release
for all partners separately, I am wasting my time
updating the release profile section manually for
each.

2. After release, back in development it seems that
the release-profile is activated no matter if it is
activated or not. So basically I need to delete this
profile and recreate it every time I want to do a
release.

I am thinking there must be a solution to this. Can
anybody give me an advice?

thanks,
Attila

How about adding an ant script which uses an XSLT task to copy the XML
around? Maybe not the prettiest solution but it should work. Copy the data
to a new file and use mvn -s to use it.

Maybe you can solve this by specifying a special settings file on the
command line with -s
