I was trying to active dependencies declared in a profile.

No error messages, the dependencies just did not show up in the "Maven
Dependencies" container within eclipse. Not sure if I made an error or
perhaps upgrading to a build from trunk fixed things...

Right. ....
I've upgraded to a build of m2eclipse from head and my profile is now
getting activated, AND they (the dependencies) show up in "Maven
Dependencies" classpath container too!
The next question is, how can I set a system property that activates
different profiles into Eclipse itself.
One Answer: by adding -vmargs -Dwas6=true
E.g: My commandline is now
C:\IBM\SDP70\eclipse.exe -product com.ibm.rational.rad.product.ide
-vmargs -Dwas6=true
This sets the system property was6=true on eclipse vm thus when the pom
is evaluated my profile is activated (this is great.)
One nit: The "Maven Dependencies" cp container is not re-evaluate until
I save the pom again. It would be nice if the POM (profile elements)
were re-evaluated at startup.
It would a nice to have also if you could manipulate the activated
profiles in some way without restarting and having to pass Eclipse
-vmargs. Any thoughts on achieving this?

Ah. That's good to know.
