> I guess I will describe my use case and then look at the possible options I can currently think of.
> We currently have a project that needs to build with Clover, however this project is multi-module and has a few modules that Clover really does not like so we need to exclude them. We are trying to tackle some of this separately with the Clover guys, but it still raises some questions around Maven profiles and module inheritance.
> When we run a release we want all modules to be included, but to do this I have needed to do the following, since profiles inherit default modules:
> {code:xml}
>     <modules>
>         <module>crowd-core</module>
>         <module>crowd-web-app</module>
>         <module>crowd-demo-app</module>
>         <module>crowd-migration</module>
>         <module>crowd-language</module>
>         <module>crowd-acceptance-test</module>
>         <module>crowd-upgrader</module>
>         <module>crowd-importer</module>
>         <module>crowd-openid-client</module>
>         <module>crowd-openid-server</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration-acegi</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration-atlassian-user</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration-fisheye</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration-jive</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration-osuser</module>
>         <module>crowd-integration-seraph</module>
>     </modules>
>     <profiles>
>         <profile>
>             <id>standalone</id>
>             <modules>
>                 <module>crowd-client-libraries</module>
>                 <module>crowd-integration-client</module>
>                 <module>crowd-javadoc</module>
>                 <module>crowd-tomcat-libraries</module>
>             </modules>
>         </profile>
>     </profiles>
> {code}
> Note, the standalone module that has been added here that contains all modules in our project.
> I have had to do this because I can't define a profile that just contains *just* the modules I want, or a profile that excludes given modules. Being able to do either of these things would be fantastic!
