John Casey commented on MNG-2234:
---------------------------------

Assuming the activeProfiles section is only there to activate profiles that you've provided, how would you expect this to act?

> When i have this settings.xml file in my user home dir, the activeProfile setting is simply ignored by Maven:
> <settings>
>  <activeProfiles>
>      <activeProfile>env-test</activeProfile>
>  </activeProfiles>
> </settings>
> Adding an empty profiles section does not help:
> <settings>
>  <profiles>
>  </profiles>
>  <activeProfiles>
>      <activeProfile>env-test</activeProfile>
>  </activeProfiles>
> </settings>
> Well, adding a dummy profile makes it work:
> <settings>
>  <profiles>
>     <profile>
>           <id>dummy</id>
>     </profile>
>  </profiles>
>  <activeProfiles>
>      <activeProfile>env-test</activeProfile>
>  </activeProfiles>
> </settings>
> Funny, isn't it?
