Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-4583.
----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 3.0-alpha-6
         Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann

The output from Maven 3.0-alpha-6 has already been clarified:
{noformat}
[WARNING] The requested profile "foo" could not be activated because it does not exist.
{noformat}

bq. I think this message is misleading, because the profile actually is activated 
Something that doesn't exist can hardly be activated so I disagree with your argument here.

bq. Also, I don't think it makes sense to print this warning at all in a multi-module build.
The original request for this warning was to capture typos and this holds for any build. At least Maven 3 outputs this warning at most once so it doesn't matter how many modules your project has.

> This is a followup to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3641. Refer to that issue for the background.
> The current warning message is:
> "Profile with id: '" + explicitProfileId + "' has not been activated."
> I think this message is misleading, because the profile actually is activated - it's just not used at all in the pom being processed. I suggest changing the message to something like:
> "Profile with id '" + explicitProfileId + "' is activated, but this pom does not contain any usages of the profile."
> Also, I don't think it makes sense to print this warning at all in a multi-module build. In the large multi-module project I work on, we have a number of profiles that are only used in a handful of the 50 or so modules.
