I've read it and I have some more questions (probably for John): * It seems that I need to put my project-specific profiles in a profiles.xml file located in my project. So far so good. However, how can I trigger a profile automatically? I could by having an activeProfile element in the master settings.xml file but I don't want to do that as this activation is only for this specific project so I want to contain everything related to this project in the project's root dir. Here's a reminder of what I'd like to do (from the previous email): - I have a property named ${cargo.containers} that has a default value set up in a profile inlined in pom.xml - I'd like that users of the build could specify an overridden value for this cargo.containers property. The best place to do that is in a profile.xml file in the project's root dir. - I'd like their overridden value to be used when they type "m2 install" without them having to type "m2 -Denv=myprofile install" which is too much of a hassle IMO * The http://maven.apache.org/maven2/profiles-overview.html document doesn't mention the trick of naming a default profile "default" (as is described on http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Build+Profiles). Does it mean it's not implemented? Note: The reason I want this profile to be always on is because I want to always have a default property for ${cargo.containers}. * How do I tell m2 that the profile I have defined in the pom.xml file must always be activated (I thought naming it "default" would work but apparently not)? * The http://maven.apache.org/maven2/profiles-overview.html doc is quite nice. It explains well what is dangerous with profiles and with an appserver path property but it doesn't give a solution (or I haven't found it)... :-) I think what I want to do by using a default value specified in an inlined profile would do the trick but I can't find a solution to activate this default profile...
