[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3140?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_109345 ]
rajeev chandrasekaran commented on MNG-3140:
--------------------------------------------
it would be very nice to support basedir in the file activation, especially since it is documented as being supported at http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Activation.
> add support for ${basedir} property in profile activation
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-3140
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3140
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Profiles
> Affects Versions: 2.0.7
> Reporter: nicolas de loof
> Priority: Minor
>
> The profile <activation> supports file based activation (exists/missing), but properties are not supported to set the path.
> My project use such a file-based activation, based on some generated-source file :
> <activation>
> <file>
> <missing>target/generated-sources/sql2java.tstamp</missing>
> </file>
> </activation>
> My project is a module, and when I run the project from the parent project the path is considered based on current dir (parent root) and not module root, so the profile gets activated but shouldn't.
> There's no support for properties in profile activation. I can understand this as profile can themself change properties. Support for the ${basedir} property could solve this issue. As this is a default maven property, it should be immutable, so have no impact on profiles activations and other properties setup.
> I would like to submit a patch, to enhance FileProfileActivator and replace ${basedir} with actual value in isActive, but I don't know where to get the basedir value.
