As I haven't been getting much of a response on the users list I thought
I'd ask here.  For whatever reason I can't get m2 to use repositories
defined in a profile (see the thread below)

Any ideas?  If I was going to debug this in the maven code where would I
start?

Anyone have an idea on this?

I really do need this for a project I'm working on.

Ok those help a little in the trouble shooting.  Still no solution but
here is what I'm seeing.

Behavior when doing a "m2 projecthelp:effective-pom":
  - If the profile is in the parent and not the child, then the
effective pom *does not* show any profiles.
  - If the profile is in the child then the effective pom *does* show
the profile.
  - Aren't profiles suppose to be inherited? (I can work around this,
just curious)

Behavior when doing "m2 projecthelp:active-profiles":
  - If the profile is defined in the parent, then no active profiles
will ever be displayed, regardless of what I do up to and including
passing "-P profilename" to m2
  - After changing "<activeByDefault/>" to
"<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>" in the profile in the child
pom the profile will show up as active.  However the repositories
defined in the profile seem to be completely ignored.  Note that I even
tried commenting out the main (ie not in a profile) <repositories>
section, in both the parent & child poms, just to make sure that wasn't
screwing with things, even so the repositories in the profile seem to be
ignored.

I did take a look through the open bugs and the only bug that looks
somewhat related is http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1169 though it
looks more like this applies to the ant tasks rather than m2 itself.

I'm pretty much stumped here so does anyone else have any further ideas?
If anyone thought it worth it, I'd be willing to pull the beta-4 code
down and try.

You should be able to specify a profile in a pom and NOT have to use
<activeProfiles/> in the settings.xml - that section is only for
profiles defined in the settings file.

Since you have activeByDefault specified, you should be able to run the
following:

m2 projecthelp:active-profiles

and see your profile listed. (If you didn't have activeByDefault, you
might have to add a system property or some other trigger for the
profile.) Another note about activeByDefault is that when any other
profile is activated, this one will not be. It's meant to work more like
a default choice rather than an activeAlways sort of semantic.

If you want to see what the POM looks like when Maven is done mashing it
together with parents, profiles, etc. you can use:

m2 projecthelp:effective-pom

or

m2 projecthelp:effective-pom -Doutput=/path/to/file

I know these aren't solutions, but maybe they will help give you a
clearer view into the problem.

Hope that helps,

john
