---------------------------------------------------------------
[~kriegaex] I find it hard to fully understand the semantic concern. When we
talk about a default value, this usually indicates "a value when no other value
was explicitly given". That's what _active by default_ also implies.
So what if we add a {{alwaysActive}} boolean instead of those workaround ? The
meaning is very clear and would lead people to understand that the
{{activeByDefault}} clearly indicates that this is not _always active_.

> Key: MNG-4917
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4917
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Profiles
> Affects Versions: 3.0, 3.8.5
> Reporter: Benson Margulies
> Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: pom.xml
>
>
> I've got a parent pom with a profile with
> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>.
> You can retrieve it for yourself via git clone
> git://git.apache.org/webservices-xmlschema.git.
> The problem is the sourcecheck profile in the parent pom.
> running mvn -Psourcecheck works as expected, but running without the -P fails
> to activate the profile.
> the help plugin, I think, has separate problems in this area, or perhaps it's
> not supposed to look at -P?
