Basically the problem with using profiles is that it really complicates how the transitive dependencies work. I have to make sure that the correct profiles are activated throughout the dependency tree.

I added a comment about this to the jira issue:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3150

Since there is an existing feature to use an alternate pom file, it seems to make sense to me that a multi-module project should also be able to use this feature.

The basic idea of it is to be able to use alternate pom.xml files in a multi-module project. Can someone with commit access take a look at this? It would really help with some of our projects if this can be added to a future release.


Not sure this is a great idea. Why aren't you using profiles?

Thanks!
