Description

Examples like the one at http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/profiles-sect-tips-tricks.html do not work anymore.

The active profiles output is:
$ mvn help:active-profiles
Active Profiles for Project 'My Project':

The following profiles are active:

  • my-internal-profile (source: pom.xml)
  • my-external-profile (source: profiles.xml)
  • my-settings-profile (source: settings.xml)

instead of:
$ mvn help:active-profiles
Active Profiles for Project 'My Project':

The following profiles are active:

  • my-settings-profile (source: settings.xml)
  • my-external-profile (source: profiles.xml)
  • my-internal-profile (source: pom.xml)

AFAICT, the section in the guide actually never worked. Profile activation by property is currently limited to CLI properties and there is already an issue for activation from settings properties (MNG-2276). From my testing, this is no regression as simply no available Maven version ever supported this.

For the record: "execution" of a profile is a misleading term for profile handling. One would like the collection of properties from the settings.xml for activation of other profiles to happen first, but the injection of a settings profile into the POM should still happen last to ensure the user settings can override POM defaults.
