Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-6310:
------------------------------------------

Are you using a repository manager ? Why do you need to many activations ? Can you give a more detailed example of that?

>             Project: Maven

>          Components: Bootstrap & Build

> Currently it appears that {{settings.xml}} proxies can only be activated via a boolean {{active}} element, which does not appear to be evaluated, so you cannot use a property (e.g. set by a profile), nor a system or environment property.
> This comes up a lot on discussions from developers trying to automate whether Maven's proxies are enabled or not, based on a system or environment property etc.
> Possible solutions:
> * Change the model for (generate) {{Proxy.active}} allowing an expression to then be evaluated.
> * Copy {{profiles}} approach and add an {{<activation>>}} element, but this requires a settings schema rev.
