Description

I am trying to activate profiles according to properties defined in the pom.xml. Unfortunately, the profiles are never activated, no matter what value is set for the defined property. I double-checked my pom.xml with existing documentation.

The attached example contains two profiles who echo the property value. These are never displayed in the output. However, documentation says a profile should be invoked if the activation section property values are met.

There is also something unclear in the existing documentation. Is it possible to enable multiple profiles with properties in a single run or is only one profile selected at most in a single run?

The pom.xml contains <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> statements I forgot to remove.

This is by design. Properties are explicitly not mentioned in How can a profile be triggered? How does this vary according to the type of profile being used?. Profiles are the first thing evaluated before anything else to determine the effective POM.

Ok, thanks, that was not clear to me... I'll close the incident.
