> The chapter 5.3.1 of the Maven Complete Reference (edition 0.2.1, Novemeber
> 2009) speaks unambiguously about considering a logical "AND" between more
> activation-conditions of a profile (cit.: "A profile is activated when all
> activation criteria has been satisfied. For example, a profile could list an
> Operating System family of Windows, and a JDK version of 1.4, this profile
> will only be activated when the build is executed on a Windows machine
> running Java 1.4.").
> Suprisingly, Maven's real behavior suggests, that the logical "OR" operator
> is used. The attached demo project contains a profile with two
> activation-criteria: a property and the existence of a file. As the output
> shows (attachement output.txt), the fulfillment of a single criterion is
> enough for activating the profile. Also the corresponding implementation in
> the Maven core expresses the intention to use an "OR" logic
> (maven-project/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/profiles/DefaultProfileManager.java
> r813685 (branch 2.2.x), line 268):
> for ( Iterator activatorIterator = activators.iterator();
> activatorIterator.hasNext(); )
> {
> ProfileActivator activator = (ProfileActivator) activatorIterator.next();
> if ( activator.canDetermineActivation( profile ) )
> {
> if ( activator.isActive( profile ) )
> {
> return true;
> }
> }
> }
> return false;
> As I'm considering the documentation's variant more reasonable, I'm reporting
> this as a bug instead of a documentation-issue.
