[jira] Commented: (MNG-4760) Way to activate profile based on Maven version

["Simone Bordet (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4760?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=253508#action_253508 ] 

Simone Bordet  commented on MNG-4760:
-------------------------------------

In Maven2 I normally added to my builds the "requirePluginVersions" rule in the Maven enforcer plugin.
This is not needed anymore in Maven3, that spits:

[WARNING] This rule is not compatible with the current version of Maven. The rule is not able to perform any checks.

So it would be good to have the enforcer plugin in a profile that is activated only for Maven2 and not for Maven3.

> A profile activation that checks the version of Maven being used would be good. For example, the site plugin requires a different version when Maven 3 is used. Currently, this is done through a profile that activates based on teh fact that the basedir expression is only recognized by Maven 3.x, which is IMO a not-so-pretty solution.
