1. Is it possible to have multiple profiles to be active at the same time ? If true, what if two profiles - both active - define conflicting informations ( say the same plugin is configured differently )
2. When is teh decision to activate a profiletaken . Before teh very first phase is begun ? ( validation ) ( IOW, does maven make teh decision to activate a profile, even before the validation phase starts ? ) 3. We have a module that contains a bunch of xsd schemas. We would like to compile these only if something has changed. I understand that I can put a <module> inside a profile, which is activated only when something changes. But I couldnt find any way to communicate to maven that the profile needs to be activated <activation> only had a limited things to check. ( like file exists, OS etc. ) Can somebody suggest a solution 4. Is it possible to execute a goal more than once during teh same phase ? ( without resorting to antrun ) --sony
