Actually I'm not sure if this is spaces. I tried it using ${basedir} with a path that didn't have spaces, it iddn't activate. I looked at the help:effective-pom and cut and pasted the whole url it was displaying there and it worked. Does that mean that profiles are being decided before the variable resolving is done?

This works: <file><exists>c:/Documents and Settings/wsmoak/file.txt</exists></file>

This doesn't: <file><exists>${user.home}/file.txt</exists></file>

note that it is not a regression, it does work with ${user.home}
