Profile problem

[Dmystery <De...@infosys.com>]

I've a parent pom say pom.xml and two child poms say pomA.xml and pomB.xml.
I'm declaring a profile in both the child pom like, 

  <profile> 
   <id>dev</id> 
   <activation> 
   <property> 
   <name>env</name> 
   <value>dev</value> 
   </property> 
   </activation> 
   <build> 
    <filters> 
     <filter>src/main/env/dev.properties</filter> 
    </filters> 
   </build> 
 </profile> 

This is used to create artifacts for different environment. So there is a
profile for each environment.

Now the problem is, i have to put the same set of environment files in
src/main/env/ of each childs and also have to write the profile declarations
in both the child poms.  

Is there a way that profiles can be declared in the top most parent pom and
there is a single 'environment' directory at the parent pom level that holds
all the environment files? the childs can then just filter a particular file
from that directory instead of having them in their resources directory. 

I've a lot of child projects and each needs to build based on a particular
environment file. 

Can this be done? Does profile inheritance work? I've not found better
answers yet on the forum.
