Hi,

It is indeed exactly my issue. Does anyone of you knows more about this ? I think I will have to wait on this error report to see if such a trick is really possible or not.

Cheers,
Reynald

Dear all,

I have been browsing the Maven Book online recently (available on
http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/public-book.html), and
I have found something interesting about the profiles used in Maven in one
example:
http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/profiles-sect-tips-tricks.html

Basically, this example does the following:
- in settings.xml, we define a profile, active by default, that set an
environment variable;
- in a module pom.xml, we activate another profile based on the presence of
the previous environment variable.

This is a functionality that looked very interesting at first, with the
only drawback that I was not able to make it work. The only solution to
activate the profile defined in the pom.xml file was to explicitly set the
environment variable on the command-line, which is not what I want to do.

I have tested this with versions 2.0.10 and 2.2.1, and both do not work.
Does anyone know if what is presented in this example should work ? Or does
anyone of you know a similar way of achieving such functionality ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Reynald Borer
