In our poms we have things like:
<profile>
<id>process-docbook</id>
<activation>
<file><exists>src/docbook</exists></file>
</activation>
... etc
which runs if the project containing the POM has a src/docbook subdirectory.
We're using Maven 3.0 (not snapshot). This snippet is in a shared parent pom.
Since it works for us and not for you, I'm guessing there's some small detail
that's different, but I don't know what it might be.
Perhaps you could post some small "test case" scenario for others to try and see
what's going wrong?
