["Maik Richey (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Maik Richey commented on MNG-4846:
----------------------------------


But then there is no difference to
{code}
      ...
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
        <property>
          <name>!somePropertyName</name>
        </property>
      </activation>
      ...
{code}
and make no sense for me.

By specifying <name>somePropertyName</name> I would expect that property being there but not having the value "Value". That makes the difference.

To be more precise:
What I would like to do is defining some properties as default. The same properties should be used when activating a profile by property "env" and the value "target". Different properties should be used - and are defined in another profile - when specifying the property "env" with a value other than "target" to activate that profile. So the only way, rather than creating a profile for each possible value, is the way I tried to manage it and that's the way how it should work in my opinion.

>     <profile>
>       <id>someCase</id>
>       <activation>

>           <value>!Value</value>
>         </property>
>       </activation>
>       ...
>     </profile>
>   </profiles>
>   ...
> {code}
> this profile will also be activated when no property/profile is defined on the command line. I expected that profile beeing activated only when you supply -DsomePropertyName=NotTheValue.
