>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6310
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Bootstrap & Build
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.2
>            Reporter: Brett Randall
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Currently it appears that {{settings.xml}} proxies can only be activated via a boolean {{active}} element, which does not appear to be evaluated, so you cannot use a property (e.g. set by a profile), nor a system or environment property.
> This comes up a lot on discussions from developers trying to automate whether Maven's proxies are enabled or not, based on a system or environment property etc.
> Possible solutions:
> * Change the model for (generate) {{Proxy.active}} allowing an expression to then be evaluated.
> * Copy {{profiles}} approach and add an {{<activation>>}} element, but this requires a settings schema rev.
