Brett Porter commented on MNG-860:
----------------------------------

should this be in profiles or only in settings? I agree these should only be 
applied to the command line introduced goals only.

> Allow Mojos that don't participate in the lifecycle to be configured using 
> profiles

> <profiles>
>     <profile>
>       <build>
>         <plugins>
>           <plugin>
>             <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>             <artifactId>maven-idea-plugin</artifactId>
>             <configuration>
>               <jdkName>/home/jvanzyl/jdk/1.5</jdkName>
>             </configuration>
>           </plugin>
>         </plugins>
>       </build>
>     </profile>
>   <profiles>
