All my CI configuration is done in a profile (build and report
plugins). This is so that I have the option to not generate the
reports when running an "on demand" CI, and to generate only during
nightly builds.
As all my projects will have the same number of reports and site
related build configuration, I wanted to keep it inside a profile.
I read somewhere that the profiles can't be inherited. If this is
correct, what is the approach recommended to not have to repeat this
same configuration in every single project?
You are right, profiles are not inherited per se. AFAIK, when maven
calculates the effective pom for an execution it will parse the parent
pom and if it includes a profile to be activated, apply it. This
interpolated parent pom is the basis for what is inherited to the child.
So you can just put your CI related config in a profile in a parent pom
and activate it when building a child. This will work just like you
would expect.
