I am executing a project's pom.xml directly. It has a parent "common.pom" (common to many projects). The project is executed directly by mvn.
Profile details were added into the pom.xml and detected automatically and when specifying the -P <profile> on the command line. Moving the profile details to the parent, causes the profile not to be detected automatically or through -P usage. I have been testing using: mvn help:active-profiles and mvn -P developer help:active-profiles Am I doing something wrong?
