   Not anymore possible to merge. Also, changing the specification will have a negative effect on all consumers of the pom. Allowing regex as property comes with extra requirements and such profile must be removed when distributing the pom. 
   I'll close this PR, MNG-4777is still open.

> For activating a profile it would be nice, in addition or as a seperate feature to MNG-3328, to match a property not against a specific value but against a regex. In our case, we need to set some properties for some hudson builds. Not only is that setup fragile against job name changes, but also doesn't scale for multiple jobs. IMHO adding a regex matcher would be a nice feature for multiple purposes.
