Activating a profile with settings.xml
According to the documentation at http://maven.apache.org/settings.html:
"Any profile id defined as an activeProfile will be active,
reguardless of any environment settings. If no matching profile is found
nothing will happen. For example, if env-test is an activeProfile, a
profile in a pom.xml (or profile.xml with a corrosponding id will be
active. If no such profile is found then execution will continue as
normal."
However, I cannot get Maven to behave this way. Should profiles defined
in the pom be able to be activated in this way, or are the docs
incorrect?

It seems to me that we "fixed" that some time ago because of a logged issue, such that only external profiles listed in the activeProfiles section will be affected. Profiles in the POM are not included in that group.

RE: Activating a profile with settings.xml
Posted by David Jackman <dj...@fast.no>.
So, the behavior I'm seeing now is actually correct? If so, the information on http://maven.apache.org/settings.html will need to change accordingly.
My problem is then how to activate a profile in the POM (it's in the POM because it lists repositories for distribution management, which can't be listed in settings.xml profiles). I can activate the profile on the command line by setting a property (-D) or using the -P options, but this doesn't work when the SCM plugin does a release:perform or a deploy goal with scm:bootstrap (the plugin invokes Maven without the command line parameters).

RE: Activating a profile with settings.xml
Posted by David Jackman <dj...@fast.no>.
In my case, there was no parent pom.
My pom.xml contains:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>myProfile</id>
...
</profile>
</profiles>
My settings.xml contains:
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>myProfile</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
The mvn help:active-profiles command shows: "There are no active profiles."
Is this the correct behavior?

Profiles should be activated in this way.
Try: "mvn help:active-profiles"
See if your profile is active.
