documentation
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2000?page=all ]
Allan Ramirez closed MNG-2000:
------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Modified in svn
> Create comprehensive profiles documentation
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-2000
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2000
> Project: Maven 2
> Type: Task
> Components: Documentation: Guides
> Reporter: John Casey
> Assignee: Allan Ramirez
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: documentation
>
> Original Estimate: 16 hours
> Time Spent: 1 day
> Remaining: 0 minutes
>
> This document should draw from the mailing list, FAQ wiki, MNGFAQ jira project (on codehaus), existing site documentation, project source code, and any IRC conversations necessary.
> It should include:
> * How can I tell which profiles are in effect during a build?
> * What are the different types of profile? Where is each defined?
> * Which areas of a POM can be customized by each type of profile? Why?
> - settings-defined and profiles.xml-defined only modify properties, repositories, and pluginRepositories. This is necessary to preserve the portability of the pom as much as possible, since these two locations are not installed/deployed to the repository system.
> * How can a profile be triggered? How does this vary according to the type of profile being used?
> * Profiles are not inherited, but their effects are, because they are applied to the POM before it's used for inheritance. This means a parent POM will have its profiles triggered and applied before it is used to calculate the inherited values for the current POM. Please include this in the documentation as well.
> There's probably more, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. We need to make this another one of those definitive documents for POM configuration.
