             Summary: Incorrect statement regarding profiles activated with -P
                 Key: MNGSITE-222
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-222
             Project: Maven Project Web Site
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
            Reporter: SebbASF


Website as above says:

{quote}
Profiles can be explicitly specified using the -P CLI option.

This option takes an argument that is a comma-delimited list of profile-ids to use. When this option is specified, no profiles other than those specified in the option argument will be activated.

The last sentence above is not true.

As proof, try the following:

{code}
mvn -f <apache-parent-pom> help:active-profiles -Papache-release
{code}

The output is

{code}
Active Profiles for Project 'org.apache:apache:pom:16': 

The following profiles are active:

 - apache-release (source: org.apache:apache:16)
 - maven-3 (source: org.apache:apache:16)
{code}
