Brian Fox closed MNG-2485.
--------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: Reviewed Pending Version Assignment)

A parent's profiles are not inherited, however the effect of activating that profile is inherited. There are some proposals for 2.1 to make this behavior more flexible.

> Compiler plugin configuration in parent pom profile is ignored by child pom.
> Parent pom includes a profile which sets the compiler plugin's source and target settings to 1.5:
> <project>
>   ...
>   <profiles>
>     <profile>
>       <id>test</id>
>       <activation>
>         <property>
>           <name>test</name>
>           <value>true</value>
>         </property>
>       </activation>
>       <build>
>         <plugins>
>           <plugin>
>             <inherited>true</inherited>
>             <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>             <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
>             <configuration>
>               <target>1.5</target>
>               <source>1.5</source>
>             </configuration>
>           </plugin>
>         </plugins>
>       </build>
>     </profile>
>   </profiles>
> </project>
> When running the test-compile phase on a child pom, the profile is ignored. Maven complains about annotations not being allowed with -source=1.3.
> This occurs when the profile is activated eitherwith the -Ptest or with the -Dtest=true CLI parameters.
> The above configuration works perfectly well when the <profiles> element is copied/pasted to the child pom.
