Okay sorted it out ... basically I wanted to set up an EITHER / OR
situtation in maven and it was not obvious how to get it done. Well get
it done and have it work out of the box with no command line arguments.
Turns out you can "negate" a property check - something they did not
have examples of.
Here is the end results:
<profile>
<id>oracle.jdbc-true</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>oracle.jdbc</name>
</property>
</activation>
...
</profile>
<profile>
<id>oracle.jdbc-false</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>!oracle.jdbc</name>
</property>
</activation>
...
</profile>
</profiles>
