I'm missing profiles.xml
Hi,
just opening a several years old project, which was written for Maven
2 before 3.0 and is making heavy use of profiles.xml.
Reminds me how much I am missing this feature: Local profiles used to
be the most obvious, easiest to use place for
local customizations like configuring a database URL or stuff like
that. My own appreciation of Maven became significantly
lower with the removal of that feature.
Now, I am not asking to readd that feature, but I am wondering whether
it wouldn't be possible to reintroduce it just for me by enabling a
Maven extension or plugin that supports it.
Any hints on how I could implement that?
Thanks in advance,
Jochen

Mark, you're getting me wrong. I am not trying to discussing the
decision to remove profiles.
I am simply asking for help in getting them working again here.
What I do is quite simple: My test suite is accessing a database. And
the JDBC URL is
specified in a property, which was previously defined in a
profiles.xml file. That worked
very well and has been understood and appreciated by all colleagues. Which is no
longer the case with the move to settings.xml.

I only have those profiles in my projects. The only profile I have in my settings.xml is for enabling staging repos.
Do you have a sample so we get an idea what you try to solve?

Be that as it may, I still have uncompilable projects from time to
time, only that I now have to
define the same profiles in my settings.xml +(!) activate them locally.

activation is king ;)
The reason why it got removed is obvious: you needed to know exactly what goes into it. Without that info you sometimes could not even compile your project.
What you can try nowadays is to create profiles (maybe in your parent pom) and have them activated via a system property.
