Always active profiles
Hi there,
Is there a better way of always activating a profile, unless
explicitly deactivated, than using a dummy property activator? For
example:
<activation>
<property>
<name>!dummy</name>
</property>
</activation>
I can't use activeByDefault since I want the profile to be activated
even when other profiles in the pom are active.
It could be worth introducing an always active activator, something like:
<activation>
<active/>
</activation>
I'll raise an issue if no-one objects.
Cheers,
Mark

Hehe, thanks for trying to help anyway. I've raised an issue to track
this in future:

Yeah, I had similar thoughts.

But dropping the activation block means that it won't be implicitly
activated? Yeah, I'm already deactivating using "-P -<id>" thanks.

I'd probably do it with <name>!noxyz</name> so that _de_activating it
is intuitive with -Dnoxzy.
You can do it with less xml by dropping the activation block and
de-activating by the profile id:
-P !xzy or -P -xzy (Maven 2.0.10 or later, see
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
.)

There is no reason for special repos - the main repo or any others work
just fine. For example sarissa is released through maven's central.

Well you could patch up one yourself easily and manually put it in your
local repo. I'm afraid JS devs dont really see any value in using maven
repositories.

Yes I have been thinking about that for jstools, never actually getting
to specifics in my mind though.

This seems very promising, are there any repositories for javascript
dependencies?
If there is a tinymce dependency and the tinymce compressor library
dependency somewhere that would definitely solve my immediate issue.
That would be nice to also have the ability to extract the javascript
dependencies into a directory in the target... like /src/main/webapp/js/

Yep, this is for regular pom profiles.

Hi,
I suppose you are talking about profile defined in pom, otherwise you can look at <activeProfiles> section of settings.xml.

Yep, that's right, I'm profiling this so that it can be deactivated if
necessary.

The OP said, "... unless explicitly deactivated."
If it's directly in the pom, there's no way to deactivate it.

Just curious: where do you need this for? If you want plugins / dependencies
always to be active, you could add them in the pom directly, then they don't
need to be in a profile. Couldn't you simply define them directly in the pom
instead of adding it withing a profile?
