Description

I want include profiles from profiles ... a example ... please tell me if this is nonsense

<profiles>

<!-- my default-profile ... this profile defines properties .... so i try to include other property-triggered-profiles -->
<profile>
<id>default</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<!-- include profile tomcat6 -->
<tomcat>6</tomcat>
<!-- include profile myfaces12 -->
<jsf>myfaces12</jsf>
<!-- include profile richfaces -->
<richfaces>true</richfaces>
<!-- don't include profile seam -->
<seam>false</seam>
</properties>
</profile>

'mvn -Pdefault eclipse:eclipse' should create a tomcat6, myfaces12, richfaces project
'mvn -Pdevel eclipse:eclipse' should create a tomcat5, myfaces12, richfaces project
'mvn -Pproductiv eclipse:eclipse' should create a jboss, myfaces12, richfaces project
....

any ideas?

not possible, but some sort of feature that enables this use case to reduce duplication makes sense

Current implementation with properties (MNG-2276) is useles in real projects. Below the simple example:
from pom.xml:

<profiles>
<profile>
<id>db-mysql</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>db.type</name>
<value>mysql</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<db.driver>MySQL</db.driver>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>db-postgre</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>db.type</name>
<value>postgresql</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<db.host>PostgreSQL</db.host>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>prod</id>
<properties>
<db.type>postgresql</db.type>
<server.type>tomcat</server.type>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>

$ mvn3 package -P prod

Property db.host are'nt set.

I can't move that logic into settings because it's project scope. I've minimum 3 dimensions of profiles (db,app server,data dir) in my projects and as now is no way to implement effective buid process with maven.

Maven is near it 3 version but missed some critical future: profile activation by other profile. It's so simple and so essential future...

PS: Is there any questions why big multienviroment projects (Alfresco, Liferay etc) not moved to maven until now?
