[m2eclipse-user] 0.9.4 under Eclipse 3.2 apparently not reading properties defined inside profile inside settings.xml

[Software Developer]

I use RAD 7.0.0.6 and external maven 2.0.9.
It seems that properties I define inside settings.xml inside local
repository are not read by the maven.
For example, I have jarsigner.alias defined inside settings.xml :


<settings>
   <profiles>
        <profile>
            <properties>
                          <jarsigner.alias>mykey</jarsigner.alias>


Then I reference this inside my pom.xml:

<plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                   <configuration>
                    <alias>${jarsigner.alias}</alias>

This works fine from command line, but when launching it from RAD I get
error that alias was not supplied.

Best,

Dan
