Activation a profile from another profile

[Janecek Jan <ja...@kb.cz>]

Hi,
 
is it possible to trigger profile activation by activating another
profile? 
 
I have several profiles defined that can be divided to few sets that
have some parts in common. I would like to place these common parts in
different profiles. For example I would have profiles profile1,
profile2, profile3, profile4. profile1 and profile2 would have some
parts in common and the same is true for profile3 and profile4. I
thought I could define profileA (with common parts of profile1 and
profile2) and profileB (with common parts of profile3 and profile4).
Then when I activate profile1 (by setting a property) I need to have
profileA activated as well. Is this possible?
 
In my case I have builds for different application servers (JBoss and
WebSphere) and each of them has several installations. I try to
parametrize builds for a specific server installation. So in my case
profileA and profileB contain configuration for the server and
profile1,... adds further configuration for the specific installation.
Currently I use 2 properties, one for activation of profileA/profileB
and for profile1/profile2/... . But then it is necessary to specify both
variables when running Maven (and thats annoying) and obviously it is
possible to specify invalid combinations.
 
Regards,
Jan

I tried setting a property in one profile, and having another
activated by that property, but that didn't work.  (I didn't expect it
to-- it would either have to depend on order or take multiple passes.
And I'm not even sure those are the same "type" of properties.)

I'm used to specifying multiple profiles:  "-P env-local,db-test".
Yes, there are invalid combinations, for example 'env-deploy,db-devl'
doesn't make a lot of sense, but it never caused a problem.
