---------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, that would lead to yet another set of boolean options which are 
mutually exclusive.  So a better way may be to define
{code}
<activation>
    <default> inactive | active | if-none-else </default>
</activation>
{code}

Anyway, one question that comes to my mind is: what's the benefit of having an 
always active profile ? Why not injecting the content of the profile directly 
in the project ?

> 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?
